Learning to Let Go

To let go of parts of life is easier than letting go of others.  Big things are more readily set aside.  They are less important.  What seems more fragile we do not readily let go of, but it will not be free until we do.  In their freedom is our own as well, and it may be that our protecting was not always as protective as it seemed.  If sometimes it has been, at other times it may not have been.  Despite their vulnerability and our fear we will at some point have to trust they will be all right, but trust remains the harder part.
