"The starting point is realizing that letting go is not a dramatic moment we build to some time in the future. It is happening now in the present moment - it is not singular but ongoing." - Judy Lief
Letting go is far from extraordinary, yet never ordinary. We're all created to let go over & over & over. I think about friends who seem committed, heart & soul, to stay attached to their images of themselves, then about friends who've handed over the reins & continually evolve. The first seem dogged with a need to feel in control; the later realize that control is, at best, an illusion - a not a very healthy one, at that.
I have to let go of this moment to let the next happen. I have to let go of the expression of human spirit I was to be the one I am now. I have to let go, to trust & love & give thanks for everything I can ken & all I can't.
Looking at this picture, an example of a starting point, am reminded that the actual starting point of this seedling was when a seed was released from a dead plant, when it burrowed into the dark soil & was nurtured with water & sunlight. All starting points.
Can we ever stop & say - "This is the starting point."
No, we can't.
It is in this moment & always.
Ain't life grand?!
