What you can release

Letting go · Little Light original

Some situations leave you with a small part you can act on and a much larger part you keep wishing you could control. Separate them as carefully as you can. You may be able to clarify your position, apologise, prepare, or choose a boundary. You may have no way to determine another person's response or make the timing kinder. Give your effort to the part that belongs to you. When your mind returns to the rest, remind yourself of what you have already done. Letting go may be something you practise repeatedly while you continue living, rather than a single moment in which everything finally feels settled.
