LETTING GO

Let go

Every new experience, every new adventure, every new day worth living begins by letting go.

At the basest level we awake and let go of our beds and sleep. We embrace a new day. We walk out the door into a new beginning.

At a more profound level we love those who, and that which, surrounds us and let even that go as we venture beyond our everyday world into the unknown. How inspiring that we dare to let go. To dream and to live.

That is the spirit of the motorcyclist, of the sailor, of the mountain climber, of the skier, of the hiker, of the surfer, of the scientist who desires to discover the truth of how and why things really are.

The common thread of the greats is the willingness to let go -- to embrace the future with open arms and childlike curiosity. Amen to that. For when we become incurious we become dull. How sad is that?
