Let it go

You’d think it would be easier.

Just relax your grip.

Open your hand.

Simple.

Sometimes it’s all you can do.

Holding on is hurting you.

But it’s all you’ve known.

Muscle memory.

Painful, but familiar.

What comes after?

When we’ve let go?

Sometimes journeys start with a step.

This one?

Starts with a fall.
