Lessons learned in love, part two.

Flip side, same coin.

Sometimes, letting it be is about grieving - or at least about accepting the imperfections that exist, facing the obstacles ahead with quiet confidence, and having the humility to know that sometimes Time is a better healer, philosopher, and problem-solver than any of us will ever be. That was then.

Other times, letting it be is about celebrating - or at least about accepting the good things for what they are (i.e. they are enough), looking at the open road ahead with confidence and not skepticism, and having the humility and faith to know that when Time does quite fine work when we stop trying to do its job ourselves. This is now.

When I stop wondering if things are okay, I usually discover that they are. With less than a month between now and a new year, I am already wondering what I will resolve to accomplish. Today I am confident that one of those resolutions will be simply to let it be.
