Description


letting go i've been carrying you all my life it's time to put you down let you go way past time - you've been dead and buried in the ground for thirty-seven years when i was little not even five years old i thought i had to take care of you i thought it was my job to keep you happy terrified at the thought that you might be sad how is it that i formed the idea that you were my cross at such an age? before i could read before i went to school when i was still learning to color inside the lines i've learned over the years not to carry others to let my loved ones live their own lives even though i'm afraid if i walk away i will have nothing left you are my last burden and it's time to let you go ..........

This is so powerful. I've been learning in the last few weeks to let go of my burden and I'm sure you would agree that it isn't easy, but it is good for reducing the stress level. And I'm not saying I've completely learned the lesson, but I've made great progress. Thank you for these words.

We've all got crossed to bear. Some real and sometimes just left over from times before. It's always "good" to realize/understand/know when to let go. But no one can tell you that until you're ready to hear it. Thank you for this...definitely something to think about.

Oh, this just has so many things I feel. I know where this comes from, but I also understand it on a very personal, powerful level. Big, huge, poignant, sad, wonderful words and I love them.

A lesson some people never learn Tara, for some the right time never comes, and when it does it is still a difficult choice. I agree wholeheartedly with Ronnie, very thought provoking prose indeed. It took my four years to let go of seventeen years of my life, and when I did, I started twenty odd years of joy. It's just accepting the time is right. I think this is one of your best to date. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

WOW! How simple yet profound...letting go is such a hard thing to do in so many situations. It's been something that's occupied my mind for more decades than I care to even think about...strangely enough, not as one who should let go, but one who should be let go OF...WOW. This piece of poetic truth resonates profoundly with me in ways that are hard (even for me) to imagine, simply because in my need to be let go of...I crossed over to the other side of the planet, only to lose most of my possessions, most of the things that brought comfort to me, my cat, and everything familiar. Of course, a certain country has come to replace all of that, and even though it's direly important that I return to the USA for a time, I know that I've let go of some things and as a result, I've gained other things, including a gallery here on Renderosity. The thing is, I can let go of this place as well...the place (and people) I've come to love so incredibly that sometimes it hurts. The thing is, I can let go of them--yeah, even a certain loopy friend who speaks English like a cross between Star Trek's Mister Chekov, and a James Bond bad guy--because of the paradox of letting go. Once you release something or someone, you give them the choice to return to you, and if they don't...then for as much as it might hurt, you get over it. THAT is a lesson that too much of the world needs to learn, and you've hit that nail so squarely on the head that I stand in awe. WELL DONE!

t's a beautiful piece of work which has struck chords with so many people...and it's a thoughtful sympathetic piece. I think most of us have had the experience of 'letting go' and ,yes, it can be very hard, Thank you.
