From Letting Go To Letting In
I am falling, falling through the darkness in what seems an endless tumble.
Is there no place to safely land?
My resistance to falling into the unknown has been bred and developed from my history.
Always do it right.
Be on time.
Make your plan and follow it through.
I feel nauseous about this state.
I should be working on something specific.
I should know what I'm doing.
Yet, when I look at the tasks that lie before me, I feel empty and unmotivated.
Letting go of old rules and outdated strategies is painful.
The mystics tell us that spending time in the unknown is the place of revealing.
The grief of past losses sit in a trunk in a dark room not to be opened.
There is no appetite for the feelings that will be released.
But this is the letting go that must take place.
Letting go of the deep urge to find certainty.
This time in my life feels like a stripping away of all the false idols I have tried to follow.
The current descent into the uncertainty of our society is one in which we cannot avoid participation.
The chaos of financial systems, a worldwide pandemic, the destruction of pristine forests calls for us to release old patterns of behaviour and enter into a new relationship with the power within each of us.
It is a vital shift in the death of old ideas and the birth of a new relationship with our hearts.
Letting in the realization we are made from love, we are pure love, and Iwe always will be love to be expressed in every moment.
Acceptance of this reality is a shift in consciousness.
The light of the morning shines through the trees announcing a new day, a new look, a new life.
Opening to, accepting of, and letting in the light is what this day and our lives are all about.
Letting in the light with a loving presence is where I choose to live today.
I can make it tomorrow as well. Each successive day strung together in a life of awareness, presence, and love.
What about you, dear friend?
What are you letting go, and what are you letting in?
Namaste
