Letting Go Requires Knowing

April 12, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Here is the kernal of my sadness which, lately, I have been feeling – yet not really knowing…

“One of the difficulties of leaving a relationship is not so much, at the end, leaving the person themselves – because, by that time, you’re ready to go; what’s difficult is leaving the dreams that you shared together. And you know that somehow – no matter who you meet in your life in the future, and no matter what species of happiness you would share with them – you will never, ever share those particular dreams again, with that particular tonality and coloration. And so there’s a lovely and powerful form of grief there that is the ultimate of giving away but making space for another form of reimagination.”~david whyte


Now may I let go?
