Life Lesson #147: Let Go

This push-and-pull effort, this calculating, this predicting--this attempt to control all the little details--it is dangerous, at best. It is a disease lurking on the outskirts of sanity: A guaranteed, slow, painful death. For there is no control of anything in this life, only the illusion of control, and we strangle ourselves daily with the cords of this illusion. To let go is to untangle ourselves, to set ourselves and everyone around us free, so that we might do more than exist; we might live.
