After a while, you get to the point where letting go is a choice that is familiar and habit. After a while, you realize that really life is going to happen no matter what you do. There’s only so much you can do to happen to life before you cross the line of too much control and orchestration. There’s a difference between being proactive and allowing life to flow without manipulation. And after you learn to let go time and time again, it becomes this comforting blanket of peace that engulfs all decisions and steps along the journey. That in and of itself is calming. The knowledge that the burden is not yours. It belongs to another. Another who promises to direct your paths and ways. Ah… the peace in that. You don’t understand it until you understand it. Until that bridge of trust is built and then tentatively crossed. There is so much peace on the other side- just waiting for you. How beautiful and wonderful and amazing! Life is simply happening! It’s like paddling and paddling through the rapids and then… gliding along through the calm patch, knowing that eventually you’ll have to paddle and correct the course again. But knowing… knowing that for now, life can be observed and experienced and tasted. Such joy in watching your soul awake!
