Freeing and Blessing...............
It strikes me there are basically only two ways to hold anything :--
- Limit the weight and space needed by what you want to hold; or
- Expand your self to contain what you want to hold.
Well, I've tried Option #1. many times over, with a lack of success that bordered at times on the "spectacular". What has your experience been?
Colin Hayes used to say: "If you want to hold on to something or someone, let her go. If it/she returns to you, she returns in freedom. If she doesn't return, she was never yours in the first place. You were kidding yourself."
The tighter our grasp, the less we can contain, the more damage we do to what we're holding, and the more exhausted we get.
Q. How can we contain anyone or anything that refuses to accept limitation?
A. Give it all the space it needs.
Open up
And find the space within
That will allow whatever is happening
To happen
Unconstrained by any urge to disapprove, limit or control.
Let go.... let go..... let go........
[Hint: You won't find that kind of space in your head.]
It's going to cost you dearly --
Your old limited, limiting, evaluating self.
You have to give that up
Forever.
Some lessons are tough.
The way back to heaven is simple
But no-one guarranteed it would be easy.
