In my 21 day challenge, it’s been five days since my last
blog. And let me tell you, it’s been a jam packed five full days of learning.
However, out of the lessons I have taken in over the past five days, nothing
has stuck with me quite as strongly as holding on to letting go.
They say…
They, whoever “they” are, in their infinite wisdom and
know-everything-ness, say that in order to live a truly happy life, you have to
let go. You have to let go of expectations, of past hurts, of regret, of pain.
Yet, as I found myself cleaning my house tonight, dusting off old photographs
and remembering days gone by, I also remembered that sometimes you have to hold
on to letting go.
It’s Never the Same
Twice, Unless It Is…
Again, “they” say that lightening never strikes twice. Yet,
if that were true, how could lightning strike more than once in the depths of
our own souls? For me? Well. I’m merely a spectator in this world sport. My
role, it seems, is to write about the exploits and moments of others. Yet, I
find happiness in the lightning strike of my role…in a way. And I think I find
the most happiness in it because lighting strikes for me, every day. And
honestly, who could ask for a better lot in life than to watch lightning strike
three or four of five times in the lives of others, and be able to share that
with the world? To put a voice to it?
Yet, I Digress…
Life, I think, is an exercise in holding on to letting go.
You have to hold on tight to the concept, the idea, and the ideal in order for
it to mean anything at all. And this becomes a daily struggle, a daily
discipline. For, as hyper-critical as I might be of those around me, I am
vastly more hyper-critical of myself, and letting go, for me, has become a
daily, sometimes momentary, struggle.
You see…
There are those among us who believe they have all the
answers, those who walk among us as normal human beings who think that they
have life sewn up like a box of tricks and can open it at their disposal. They
can’t. Nor can I. Nor can you. Because just when you think you have it all
figured out, you are smart enough to realize that you don’t. And, if you are
really, really smart, you will realize that you never will. And, the only real
lesson you can take with you at the end of the day is holding on to letting go,
how well you did it and how freely you loved.
So, if I had one tiny bit of wisdom to pass on, as I go
through my journey it’s this: Let go. And hold on to that. As hard and as tightly
as you can.
Embrace what you can embrace and allow what you can’t to
flow freely like water through your soul. Then, and only then, will you find a
peace.
Hold on to letting go. Be water.
“You must be shapeless, formless, like
water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in
a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes
the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.” ― Bruce Lee
