Friday’s Free Refill: Relinquish
In my HeartWriter Blog (www.heartwriter.wordpress.com) this week I am writing a series on peace.
Peace. Something we all want in our lives. In our striving toward peace we reach out to fill up, to accumulate, to gain, gather all in the name of peace. What would happen if we let go? In our relinquishing of the things we grab on to for the purpose of acquiring peace would we actually find it? Are we just looking for it in the wrong places? In the wrong things?
To embrace peace must we let go to make room for it? What would happen if we surrendered to the constant obtaining of things, knowledge, stuff…would we find ourselves standing right in the middle of this peace we desire?
Oh, but to let go requires practice and to practice requires showing up.
Today I am going to think about what I can let go of to sit more in the lap of peace. The idea of relinquishing something of this world I think holds value is a bit scary indeed. I will take a deep breath and listen to the still quiet voice within and hear the wisdom in the whisper.
Sometimes we don’t have to be still for very long, just long enough, to hear deeply. Which just means creating a practice of showing up and letting go and showing up and letting go again.
