Today I am aware that it is more difficult to let go of a painful,
dysfunctional situation or relationship than a happy, healthy one. When
a relationship or situation is going wrong, I become entangled in the
mess, always feeling that if I did just a little bit more, if I tried a
little harder, if I changed something . . . then it would work. When I
come from this insecure place, it really never does work out . . . all
of my frantic efforts only serve to complicate an already complicated
situation and my best intentions fall on deaf ears. Letting go does not
mean losing; it simply means that I am willing for change to occur.
Sometimes the change is so subtle I only know it took place because I
feel better; sometimes it is more pronounced.
I can let go and allow movement to occur.
If error is corrected whenever it is recognized as such, the path of
error is the path of truth.
Hans Reichenbach
