Maybe underlying the practices surrounding it were respect, consideration, and affection. Maybe ideas and practices were twisted over time—as ideas and practices often are. Maybe that is how menstruation came to represent what it did, and sometimes still does—impurity and shame. Maybe that is why these mistaken structures must now be dismantled. Period. ~ Mickey Kumrahttps://wordedworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/91495-6293d-ww29081801b.pngww29081801bMaybe menstruation was never a bad thing. Maybe menstruating women were only advised rest. Maybe they were only requested to limit social, religious, and other engagements. Maybe only to keep them from getting more drained than they already were. Maybe underlying these practices were respect, consideration, and affection. Maybe isolation, confinement, or suffocation was never an intent. Maybe these ideas and practices were twisted over time—as ideas and practices often are. Maybe that is how menstruation came to represent what it did, and sometimes still does—impurity and shame. Maybe that is why these mistaken structures must now be dismantled. Because they do not represent justice, kindness, fairness, or the truth.

After that, you can no longer get away with breaking them. You can no longer claim any more chances from your exhausted quota to undo the damage. You may, though, still recover them—the person you've pushed away—with effort. But it would be them of only the same body, not of the same mind, heart or spirit. ~ Mickey Kumra2018-08-12T10:36:15+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/08/12/plan/2018-08-12T10:33:38+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/08/10/sailing/2018-08-10T05:37:22+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/08/04/muscle/2018-08-04T08:39:52+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/08/04/rebound/2018-08-04T08:05:41+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/07/29/freedom/https://wordedworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/9d092-d8a0f-ww24071801.pngww24071801Discipline might be suffocating, but indiscipline is limiting.

It's rarely the spontaneous outcome of some random occurrence. Rather, it's most frequently the result of a series of events and experiments. It's the result of decided movements made by them in response to their notings from these happenings. They're dangerous because they design their growth. They test their pieces. They put themselves together. Meticulously. ~ Mickey Kumra2018-02-27T03:53:04+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/02/26/full-hearts-learn-to-be-loved/https://wordedworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/e96bc-bd982-26021801.png26021801Love.

If you go on talking your mind out, you go into a rut where you're repeating yourself. The form may be different, but the skeleton is the same. You've to pause. You've to breathe back in what you've exhaled. You've to let your ponderings and utterances press themselves on you.

Everybody likes getting things right every time. But mistakes serve one good purpose. Every time you make a mistake, every time you fail, you're furthered from people not good enough to continue in your life. Mistakes separate fans from observers and detractors. They separate friends from ordinary followers. They segment the world that matters into family, lovers, and everyone else. The world that matters doesn't judge you. It doesn't dump you. It gives you chances. It wants you to take chances. Make mistakes. ~ Mickey Kumra2018-02-02T04:44:06+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/01/25/mind-wise-feet-together/https://wordedworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/af77f-df67f-25011805.png25011805One leg stretched too far into the past.

But this something's born of you. It resides in you. You don't chase it. It chases you. You don't exert to grow it. It exerts to grow itself. Upon you. Beyond you. Let this thing consume you.

To continue growing, you've to keep shedding, even destroying, things you've possessed, built, or acquired up to the point you're currently at, the point you're to grow beyond. It might be terribly easy, it might be unimaginably hard, but it cannot be negotiated. To make more of something, you've to make less of something else, of something that's a deterrent to growth. ~ Mickey Kumra2018-01-12T06:34:14+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/01/09/full-hearts-speak-last/2018-01-09T12:40:53+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/01/08/signed-m-far-leaps/https://wordedworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/acf47-bfacf-08011801.png08011801Leaps that take us farthest are leaps of faith. ~ Mickey Kumra2018-01-08T18:01:02+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/01/08/signed-m-read-or-write/https://wordedworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/797bc-8fb11-08011806.png08011806What you read, you learn.

When ideas of a particular someone won't stop ruling you. When they won't stop running through you. When you are no longer with this someone, when you can't be with them, yet your conscious won't stop from indulging every bit of itself in measuring every bit of everyone against that of your someone. When it won't stop from picking out how everyone uses their voice, and words, and everything else differently from your someone. When it won't stop from shouting loud and clear how your someone's use of them just. was. better. How it just was right.

I've been called, as friendly compliments, names of some tremendous masters. Geniuses, to whom my potential at the time has been compared. But, I've also been called nonsense. By the same set of people. I've been called nonsense when my attempts and experiments haven't made sense to those attendant to, or aware of, them. This duality of views has taught me that most people are very good at drawing parallels with what they know, but not so good at imagining what they don't. ~ Mickey Kumra2018-01-02T11:33:07+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/01/02/mind-wise-play-otherwise/2018-01-02T10:10:25+00:00monthlyhttps://wordedworks.com/2018/01/02/full-hearts-could-they/https://wordedworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/7461d-e31c9-02011820.png02011820It's always going to be important whether or not someone could fight the world for your sake.

We have to relate to the words we read, the movies we watch, the people we speak to. The trouble is, if we don't take the trouble to stretch ourselves, the trouble to dwell upon ideas we don't relate to, how are we to grow out of our situations?
