Give It Up

It's all in the grip. How tightly I hold onto relationships, possessions, and desires seems directly tied to whether or not they wriggle free to escape. If I hold lightly to all I hold dear, then God multiplies and grows... our marriage, the relationships with our increasingly independent (though still far from ready to fly) children, possessions and finances have all shown this belief in practice. If I hang on for all I am worth then objects begin to hold too great a priority, I waste the present on the future, and the people I love feel trapped and overwhelmed. Here's to letting go.
