The Dance

"It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go" - Patty Griffin from Let Him Fly

We let go of what traps us.
Embracing what serves us - 
and maybe what we serve.

Both will bruise us
but the letting go & embracing
will set us free to fly -
if we allow it.

We don't tame either -
one doesn't control 
the other.
But together they dance.
In them, we find a rhythm  
to inhale & exhale
by what we embrace &
let go.
