Counting my traumas

Like mala beads, wondering

Where the pattern ends

    Do these beads form like a necklace? If yes, looks like the pattern never ends 🥺

  • When they are joined together in a circle, they never do.

    Does one have to be Catholic to understand the beads. Mala beads, will have to look it up. Your story sounds deeply rooted. Maybe knowing the beads will help to explain your haiku better. Be blessed.
