Be Released
...of everything.
I can empathize. I know the desperate feeling of being trapped in a moment with no answers or assurance of an easy way out. I could tell you the story about a crisis at my office requiring an armed guard to secure the main entrance. Or I could speak of divorce, sitting alone in my apartment listening to the passing traffic oblivious to my suffering. Throughout it all the Earth kept turning, each day followed by night, as these and other crises would come and go. . . . Tell me, when at a funeral have you ever dared to look more closely at the corpse? Don’t they appear to be more at peace than during the struggle to continue in this life? I truly believe it must be this way, because there is always and without exception a much greater peace in letting go.
