Beach Notes: Letting Go

To move forward I know I need to let go of both physical and emotional stuff.

Tomorrow we have a council collection, so today we have spent a couple of hours cleaning out the garage and clearing out accumulated things I might use one day.

Des just commented how amazingly tidy the garage looked.

I located a few journals tucked away in boxes from a few years ago and found a poem I had written about letting go.

Mirrors of the Soul

Are you just being a mirror

for me and my soul?

There is a big leap

to make from the

known and familiar

There is the letting go

of ” who I think I am” to

“the who I know I will become”

But the freedom it will bring

will drive me on

I must let go

I must listen to my soul

- Suzie Cheel 21/11/99

I know as I continue to let go I will create more space for the new to flow in.

Are there times when you find it easier to let go?

    Great (and timely) post, thank you.

    I can’t think of a time when it’s been easy to let go. Usually because when it’s time to let something go, the difficulty comes in my deep attachment to that thing.

    For me, if it’s easy to let go of, then it wasn’t much of a problem to begin with.

    And sometimes we find ourselves in a place of knowing we need to let go of something, but, because of our attachment, become confused as to exactly what that something is.

    I guess the present moment is the only place where we experience true freedom.

    Thank you for reminding me.

    Hi Susanne,

    “I guess the present moment is the only place where we experience true freedom.”

    I think with that statement you have answered your own questions.

    What I realised yesterday is that I have still have so much “STUFF” to let go of to really move forward and have been holding onto a lot for many years. There is the spare wardrobe of clothes that I might need it we go somewhere cold etc- I also realised that there’s a scarity mentality there too!

    Thanks for writing and so happy it was timely for you

    Have a clearing day

    Beautiful poem, Suzie! It definitely applies to the mental stuff as well as the physical. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks Karen,

    so true about the mental clutter, we don’t always see that
