letting go

My friend Susan sent in this quote from Joseph Campbell.  It reminds me of the concept that in order to grow, we need to let go of some things.  The idea that spirituality is not collecting more ideas, or supposed "truths," but releasing ourselves from some of what we have collected over the years so that we can finally relax and enjoy life.

"We must be willing to let go of the life that we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
                                       Joseph Campbell, American writer.

Unless we let go, we cannot discover.  Until we let go, we are locked in our own sphere, demanding that world align itself to make us happy.  

But when we do let go, we can finally understand that-  it's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
