Go in Peace 6/25/2008 11:54:09 AM
Letting go. The most difficult thing in the world to do, honestly, sincerely, purely. Though outside the door, the howling wind continues to roar, like some mad bull snorting and kicking up dirt daring you to cross the line, someone must choose the high road. Someone must stop the insanity. Not to do so would mean the destruction of all that's real, all that's here in your arms.
Darkness only has power if it is fed. It strengthens and grows like a parasite, sucking on the tit that is your anger, your fear, you insecurities, your emotional distress. The only way to stop it is to starve it. You have to turn away and not feed it, not interact with it, leave it alone.
After all, why is it so important that you would walk outside and continue to allow yourself to be consumed by this succubus? The devil is the master of lies, illusion is his game, give you enough room to make a fool out of yourself and enough rope for you to hang.
Forgiveness means letting go. No just sneaking a peek. No unsaid thoughts. No smart ass comments whispered underneath a breath or behind closed doors or disguised as flippant jokes. Like a cancer, it must be cut out and destroyed. It no longer exists.
One of the greatest tortures is silence. X no longer exists. No longer is worthy of any of your time or essence or thoughts or feelings. X is dead. And nothing will bring X back into your life again. X is no more.
Today may we embrace what it means to let go. This is no concession. This is no loss. THIS is the freedom to live life without a leech hanging off your soul. This is letting go of what is sinking you so that you can rise above the waters, take in the air, and have a life again. Be you again. Be able to enjoy the ones who matter most to you and go back to your home, to one you love, in peace.
