Letting go...

.
Looking at our lives there are every once in a while those things we would like to let go of. If only we knew when the right moment is to actually take steps to do so. The right situation, the right timing ~ and the right prospect of what life will look like after we have let go of whatever it is we no longer want or need in our lives.

And there is our excuse...
Because it is not quite the right situation. Because, if it were the right time, wouldn’t there be a sign? Wouldn’t you know it? That this is the time to let it go? And what if you would find out in a couple of weeks or months that you have let go of it too early? That you discover you still need it?
Perhaps it is better to wait until we are sure letting go really is the right thing to do...

Often the things that nudge us into action on letting go of the things we no longer need or want in our lives are ~ in a sense ~ milestones. Like a graduation; a wedding, or sometimes something more dramatic like for instance an accident. It is at those times in our lives that we have a tendency to re-evaluate what we wan tout of our lives and how we are going about getting it. And with it then comes the desire to let go of those things that don’t grow corn for us anymore.

But does that mean that we need to wait for a milestone like that to come along in our lives in order to let go? Not necessarily.

One could argue the point that in the second part of Fall, after the harvest, is a good time to observe our lives; to be grateful for what we have accomplished and to let go of the things we no longer need to carry along with us in to the next season.
Others might say that the time between the Winter Solstice and New Years day is the best time to ponder what is happening in our lives ~ to contemplate our needs and desires ~ and to let go of the old as we are planning for the new.

However, in the ever higher energy frequency of this point in time once or twice in a year might not be often enough to have the opportunity to let go. So for those of us who want to release things more often ~ the cycle of the moon provides us with a chance to do so every four weeks. The last week before the new moon ~ when all things new start again ~ is a good time to to clear out those things from our lives we no longer need...
