When the tightly packed petals of the rosebud let go, the rose blossoms.

I have found that confusion often clouds the subject of letting go. Many dedicated seekers of spiritual truth seem to stumble on this point. We all let go naturally to a certain extent. We let go and allow life force to flow. We release our hold and let the divine forces act in our lives. Good always comes from this.

We all resist it, too. We try to control everything. We attempt to orchestrate the divine unfolding from our own personal point of view. Like a fish trying to control the tide, we stress and strain in an attempt to use our muscles to keep life on track. We seem to think it is our job to keep the planets spinning. We try to control the motives of other people. We try to run life the way we think it should be run. Frustration and fatigue usually come from this.
