I release the need to control

I release the need to control.

I release the fear that if I let go, everything, including myself will fall apart, or be taken away.

I release to believe in the inevitability of loss. And the illusion that my exhausting struggles are somehow holding it all together anyway.

I release my fear of suffering which creates the very fear it feeds on. I let that narrative go. It does not serve me.

I open myself to fall, and trust the universe to catch me.

As it always has done. As I know it always will do.

I open myself to being vulnerable and to receive. Unconditionally.

I know letting go is the key to flow.

So I leave my doubts, fear, and ego on the shore,

I let go of my head and trust in my heart.

I surrender myself to the wisdom of uncertainty.

So simple and so hard.

But fighting against the currents is harder, and it’s getting me nowhere.

I embrace the freedom of surrender.

Knowing that I will not lose myself, but find myself.

I'm ready.
