Letting Go

The invitation came from a good friend. She offered to share her experience of one of her favourite places to enjoy a meal. In advance, I decided to let go of any expectations I might bring with me. I would leave my views on cooking methods, taste and texture combinations, and styles at the door. I consciously opened my heart and mind to the possibilities of what the chef would bring to the table.  As the setting unfolded, I took a deep cleansing breath and consciously let go. 

I remember the feeling in the moment as today begins.  It is a whispered reminder of my opportunity at the beginning of each day.  The invitation is from Divinity, reflecting her desire to share possibilities and hope with me in what is to come.

Life reminds me that letting go is essential to stepping into a field where I stand in the light of hope and possibilities.  I wake up remembering.  The invitation comes into focus “when I called it quits, gave up on anything that could be hoped for on this earth.” (Ecclesiastes 2:20). My shift is from a singular focus on my story, as limiting and bounded as it often is, to the larger story that I contribute to.  Moving beyond myself into a community where I am unconditionally accepted and embraced, I open myself up to becoming a better person in a superior future.

Life invites me into a new way of seeing and understanding myself.  The shift in what I see in the mirror is dramatic.  Dark shadows disappear.  The scars from yesterday no longer carry pain and angst with them.  I am a child of Divinity, called to compassion and a restored community.  The opportunities are all around me.  The call to the battles of the day ahead takes on a higher purpose –where hate is replaced with love, judgment with compassion, and fear with an embrace.  

In letting go of what I thought was important, I discovered the purpose I was destined to fulfil – an opportunity to win with others.

Hearing and sharing stories are a big part of living and growing. I in the hope my stories will help you hear more of your own. Feel free to share and be part of the quest to hear whispers in the moments we have.
