Let Go.

Let go of the ways you thought life would unfold.
The holding of plans or dreams or expectations.
Let it all go.
Save your strength to swim with the tide.
The choice to fight what is here before you now
Will only result in struggle, fear
And desperate attempts to flea
From the very energy you long for.
Let it go.
Let it all go.
Flow with the grace that washed through your days
Whether you received it gently
Or with all your quills raised to defend against invaders.
Take this on faith:
The mind may never find the explanations that it seeks
But you will move forward nonetheless.
Let go
And the waves crest will carry you
To unknown shores
Beyond your wildest dreams or destinations.
Let it all go,
And find the place
Of rest, and peace, and certain transformation.


Be thankful today and always.

Happy Thanksgiving, yogis.

Om Shanti,

Things I've Learned In the Last Week:

• Bad things really do come in 3's. It sucks.
• Even though I feel pretty defeated right now, I know that God won't give me anything that I can't handle.
• You have to learn to leave toxic people and environments behind you and not think twice about it.  Let go.
• Anger does not suit me well.
• It does, however, suit me well to be a kind and nice person to everyone, even (or should I say, especially) when they least deserve it.
• People and situations can really suck sometimes, but you have to keep on keepin' on and try not to lose your faith in humanity.
• Never, ever own a Nissan again. Ever.
• The people who step up and support you when you feel like you've hit rock bottom may really surprise.
• No matter how sh*tty life seems, things could always be worse.  Be appreciative for what you do have, and know that there is always something to be thankful for.

Om Shanti,
Z
