Personal upset notwithstanding, between political frenzy and weather extremes, the year ending was especially dense for many of us. I’ve been thinking about what thoughts, emotions and circumstances I want to leave behind in its twelve months.
Letting go. Defined by words such as “Surrender” and “Release” and phrases such as “Let go and let God” it seems to me that it finds meaning in the act of ~
~ letting go of hurt and anger
~ letting go of outcomes, and expectations
~ letting go of control
~ letting go of the need to know
I followed that train of thought into my sleep time and awoke to the refrain, ‘Let it go, let it go, let it go’ coursing through my brain to the tune of the popular Christmas carol “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.” It made me smile to picture such a complex subject in such a light-hearted framework.
“Important doesn’t have to be serious.”
