The Art of Letting Go

There’s beauty to be found in relaxing our grip
on process
on certainty
on perfection

and slowly easing in
to curiosity
to discovery
and to something new.

From planning the next step in detail
to leaping with courage and faith;
understanding that where we land is never final
unless we want it to be –
unless we choose it to be.

Acknowledging that failure is a perspective
and that learning
and experience
and growth
can only meaningfully take place
when we fall short in some way.

Embracing that the journey is ongoing
and the destination is fleeting
is changing
is evolving
as we do
as we grow
as we become.

Then we truly learn to let go
to allow
to ebb and to flow.

This is the art of living.
This is the art of allowing.
This is the art of letting go.
