Funny thing about letting go.

Saying that you’re letting go is assuming you had a hold of it in the first place. In truth, you once had it…but had it because it wanted to be there.  Slowly…Surely…. we lose focus of what made us want it in the first place and our grip begins to tighten. Fear stiffens our fingers and we grab at it, corner it, hold it down, poke it back into place, tear it apart into smaller, more ’manageable’ pieces…or simply break it down, thus destroying the beauty that began it. Believe me, I know.

I’ve done this… and will not do it again. Something precious was in my hands and fear gripped my heart, and in a typical reflex reaction, my hands became a vise. And now, my hands are tied, and my head is speaking to my heart. Non-action brings action – not your actions or reactions –  but it allows other actions take their proper place.

Quiet hands, open heart, observant head…all watching for the moment I can trust my hands again. Trust them to stay open…and next time I am blessed to have them filled…keep them open and let it be.
