Reflection #17 Letting Go

Letting Go

Some things vanish in a breath—
a house,
a box of letters,
a blanket worn smooth by love.

Some we surrender slowly,
the hand reluctant to open,
the heart reluctant to part.

Letting go is holy work.
It asks for courage,
and for gentleness toward oneself.

It asks us to honor memories arising—
and sorrows to find their way.

Each release becomes a doorway.
an open path to what will be.

So, we keep on,
walking toward what’s next…
Thank goodness.
