All you have to do is let go…
I tell you that my animals save me (mostly from myself) all the time. They propel me out of bed every morning and basically kick start my arse into the right state of mind.
That state of mind would — ideally be — the one where we just let it be easy and joyful and run towards the day and life and the people we love with wild abandon (I’m better at this, after coffee and to be sure there’s no running!)
I learn lessons every day being in their presence. My cats remind me to be curious, never let something be more than it is and that being is really all there is. My dogs show me that there isn’t much that some sunshine, a good walk and rest can’t cure.
They all remind me that Faith, in ourselves and love, is everything. Oh and not take it all so seriously, it’s only life after all.
I read a wonderful letter that the brilliant @elizabeth_gilbert_writer wrote about her beloved friend @suleikajaouad dog Oscar and this sentence stood out ‘Look, he said, Let me show you how. It’s not hard. All you have to do is let go..”
Unclench your fists, and jaws and hearts.
We can do hard things, I love you, bye.
