Let it go

Let go of the ways you thought life would unfold:

the holding of plans or dreams or expectations–Let it all go.  Save your strength to swim with the tide.

The choice to fight what is here before you now will

only result in struggle, fear, and desperate attempts

to flee from the very energy you long for.  Let go.

Let it all go and flow with the grace that washes

through your days whether you received it gently

or with all your quills raised to defend against invaders.

Take this on faith; the mind may never find the

explanations that it seeks, but you will move forward

nonetheless.  Let go, and the wave’s crest will carry

you to unknown destinations.  Let it all go and find the place of

rest and peace and certain transformation.
