On Letting Go

Sometimes, many times, you are going to be different from what someone else needs. Refrain from phrasing this as lack or excessiveness. Recognize instead how blessed it was that at a moment, when human beings are ephemeral puzzle pieces evolving with chaotic will, your puzzle momentarily fit another’s–what wonder. Whisper your dreams inward and leave the work of becoming unto processes that cannot be observed by the ordinary eye. Trust. Refrain from violently morphing your puzzle to be what it was when you were in sync with another. After all, their puzzle is morphing too. Allow it. Let old friends slip away from you towards others who sustain their growth. Rejoice in the new fruit they will bear. Rejoice in the new bees that will reach you now that your fragrance can travel far and wide.
