I wanna let go...of worry and doubt
giving it up...I am laying it down.
take it away..out of my hands..out of my reach
and safe in your plans....Coz i need to know...that you can hear me.
Take me and hold me
break me and mold me
I want to let go
Craddle my hands...knuckles so white.
Open that map and say its all right
Show me your plan, call it your own.
Make it a journey ...leading me home
Coz I need to know...that you can hear me.
Fill me with your peace...Lindsay McCaul "Let Go"
LETTING GO...we fight to hold on..we fight to let go..and somewhere we find ourselves in the middle...letting go of mistakes, of failure, of dreams, of hopes, of worry, of despair, of doubt, of the unknown and what will be...letting go of love, of tears, of hurt, of pain...letting go of friendships, of how things "use to be." Letting go of the past...So many things to let go of...I once heard someone say that if we hold on too tight on the past we won't have room to embrace the future...If we can't smile thru the tears then whats the point of still living...bad things happen each and everyday...in every second...I will never begin to understand the WHY's in any of it...I don't understand how two people who found each other and are meant to be together find themselves in a world that won't allow them to be together...I don't understand a person who is educated and responsible is laid off and can't find a job no matter how hard they try...I don't understand how a girl who is young and truly beautiful and just kind is the target for cruel jokes, hatred stares and gossip laughs...I don't understand the hate, the crime, the abuse, the violence that some people have to live thru whether it be for just one moment or for their entire life...I don't understand a person taken all too soon from this world....I don't understand how a family carries on...I don't know how a parent truly breaths again after a loss of a child...I search and search looking for reasons...But there never are any are there...Yet in that moment I realize you are left standing between two things...HOPE and DESPAIR...You can either go one of two places...head south or head north....Thou it doesn't matter what journey might have lead you to those two points...its never easy...and its a choice you have make more than once...sometimes its a choice you battle with each and every second....AS hard as it is I look to HOPE...hope in the human spirit, hope in love, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for understanding, hope that my best is still yet to be, hope that one day it will all make sense...and thats what I wish for so many...HOPE ... so you know you aren't alone in your journey of pain, of worry, of saddness, whatever journey you may be on...in all journeys of life...
Today may be the day you let go...or maybe its the day you loosen your grip or even just think about the day in the future...letting go doesn't mean forgetting...it simple means making room to embrace, to endure, to feel, to love and to live more...Someone very wise said...Sorrow craves the hole that someday love will make whole....letting go...its a journey all in its own...one in which we fight to hold on and we fight to let go...
"More than anything I want to trust in a journey that I don't understand."
"I write entirely to find out what I am thinking & feeling, what I am looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear."
"Loving you changed my life. It should come as no surprise that losing you has done the same."
"I am living proof that a shattered heart can still beat.:

- "Life lies in the JOURNEY not the Destination." Everyday I awake to embrace the day I have been given. Thru times of struggle and in happiness--I find reasons each and everyday to LOVEthisLIFE.
Every story is one to be heard....
"You have been given the chance to live, so LIVE."
"Your soul knows the geography of your destiny. Your soul alone has the map of your future. Therefore, you can trust this indirect, oblique side of yourself. If you do, it will take you where you need to go. But more importantly it will teach you a kindness of rhythm in your journey."
"Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly, your wholeness when you are broken, your innocence when you feel guilty and your purpose when you are confused."
"I may not have gone where I intended to go - but I believe I have ended up where I needed to be."

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy.' They told me - I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."
"If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars."
"Some people just live life in a way that well seems against the grain - never taking the paved way the easy way never living to the checklist of life...but maybe just maybe they are seeking a little bit more from life."
"All of your life is about growing into your personal best...all of your life is about growing into greatness."
"When something bad happens, you have three choices...you can either let it define you, let it destroy you OR you can let it strengthen you."
"I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders."
"Do one thing everyday that scares the complete shit out of you."
"Try to be like a turlte, at ease in your own shell."
"There is a great mystery that none of us will get until that last breath and EVERYTHING will become VERY CLEAR."
"There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with."
"Overcome the notion that you must be regular it robs you of the chance to be extraordinary."
"Too much has been given much is required. You must do something for the greater good to show your gratefulness for the blessings in your life."
"The CHALLENGE of my LIFE is to see how far I can take it."
"There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go."
Never ask, "What reason do I have to be happy?" Instead ask, "To what purpose can I attach my happiness?"
"Maybe mistakes are what makes our fate - without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we never veered off course we wouldn't be who we are now."
"The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core of strength within you that survives all hurt."
"Michelangelo said the best way to judge the essential elements of a sculpture is to throw it down a hill and the unimportant pieces will breake away. Sometimes life is like that. It tosses us down a hill. But when we reach the bottom and only the important things are left, that's when our vision clears. That's when we hold on tight to what we know, while hope stirs inside us. It's all a matter of perspective."
"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm but to add color to my sunset sky."
"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces - I would still plant my apple tree."
"Turn your wounds into wisdom and your mess into your message."
"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek & find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle."
"The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet."
"When you find the way others will find you. Passing by on the road they will be drawn to your door. The way that cannot be heard will be echoed in your voice. The way that cannot be seen will be reflected in your eyes." -Choose your own journey even if it means taking a path no one ever has.
"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer anwsers."
