To Let Go Is Never Easy

If there ever was one thing that every single one of us, every family, tribe, organisation is being asked to do right now is to let go.

LET GO.

Ahhhh, it sounds so liberating, doesn't it?

I let go.

Yet, this is the one thing most of the planet is struggling to do right now.

For letting go is hardly ever easy.

Never.

Yes, we all like to hear stories of those who, before us, bravely faced the monumental task of clearing away the dead wood from their inner and outer life.

Brave, brave souls that they are.

But us?

Us is different.

Us... Well, we make ourselves busy so to avoid the very painful and dreaded question: "WHAT STAYS, WHAT GOES?"

For answering that question means something has been wanting to die within us, and we simply cannot afford to let that happen.

Because we worked so damn hard to have it born in the first place.

Whatever we experience in our life, whether it feels nice or not, we created.

And we grow so attached to our creations, even when they suck our life away.

Even when they break our heart and keep us wide awake night after night, our pains become our own children.

And we can't let them die.

No way.

We worked so hard to raise them and keep them strong, didn't we?

We fed them all that we could so they could stand on their own.

And when they ask us to stop otherwise they'll just explode, we, like every caring parent, ignore them.

"I worked so hard for you, and this is how you thank me. Go back to your room now."

Only that their room is our heart right now, and it's breaking.

THE HEART OF THE WORLD IS BREAKING BECAUSE WE CANNOT LET GO OF WHAT WAS NEVER OURS.

The pandemic has forced us all to to reassess our lives, whether we like it or not.

Since it looks like it may still be a while before we regain some semblance of the good old days, there is much happening underneath the surface.

Not something our eyes will easily spot.

The changes taking place right now within the structure of the planet, are so deep it comes as no surprise most of us are feeling out of their depth these days.

The sense of loss we are experiencing stems from something that has been wanting to leave for a very long time.

Like a whisper in the wind, it was our soul's lament weighing on our heart.

"Set me free, please. Set me free."

But we pretended not to hear; we'd get busy or conveniently let life in the way.

To set our own soul free demands courage and the ability to stand while everything around us crumbles down.

And since we humans like our comforts, our soul has been waiting for this moment a very long time.

The lockdown we all have been experiencing on & off for the last 12 months, has forced us to pay attention.

To open our ears.

To listen to our heart's crying.

With nowhere to go and hide.

And it's like a farewell party happening within us: our little fears are ready to fly the nest so good old auntie soul can come back and have a bit of fun.

Only that this party is very messy to say the least and also quite loud!

So dear friend, if right now that struggle is your struggle too, cry all the tears you need to cry.

Feel that ache and loss every parent feels sooner or later.

But know that your children are longing to go back to the light we all come from.

Lead the way for them and find your peace.
