I am presently thinking about the relationship between control and letting go. At the moment, I'm more aware of how we are capable of creating all of these controlling limits in order to manage our fears of negative potential outcomes. But then as we change, mature, grow spiritually and intellectually, some of these old patterns become a burden that we continue to hold on to. And yet, what worked at one time, no longer helps. So we are confronted with holding on to an uncomfortable, but familiar set of outcomes or letting go into the unknown. And choosing between the two is not easy. I enjoyed reading your blog.
