thank you. here is more about letting go.
"How do I let go, God?"
God whispers, "Simply let go."
"HOW do I let go?"
God whispers again, "Just let go."
"HOW do I LET GO!?"
God whispering, "..open your hand."
"How do I love, God?"
God whispers, "Simply love."
"HOW do I love?"
God whispers again, "Just love."
"HOW do I LOVE!?!"
God whispering, "..open your heart."
Do we get so caught up in the "act" of doing and end up forgetting
about just "being". We may hold something in our hands soo tightly
in the cookie jar we forget, in order to get the handful of cookies
we need to let go, in letting go we obtain what we most desire,
albeit, one at a time...
We may hold angry and hurt feelings, emotions that hinder us from
becoming who we are meant to be. In order to find that love we most
desperately need, (human and divine love) we need to open our
hearts, in letting go we obtain what we most want and desire, it is
our inheritance.
How do we know if and when it comes time to 'let go' we won't be
dashed to bits by unseen malevolent forces...the scary UNKNOWN!!
What is the UNKNOWN?
How do we know when to "let go"?
I believe the answer is found deep within. It's very subtle until
you discover it by opening the eyes of your heart.

Today, be aware of how you hold your hands when you're not actively
doing something with them.
With the stress of our daily lives, many of us find our hands
typically clenched in fists. This is proof of the tension we hold in
our bodies. And ponder this: how can we receive the abundance of
life if our hands are not open to receive it?
When you become aware that your hands are closed tight, stretch your
fingers and spread them wide in the shape of a starfish. Deep
breathing will also help you relax into the moment.
