I am coming to learn, sometimes the hard way, that it is very difficult to “let things go!” For me to let something go, I must first feel, feel, feel…the pain in order to heal the pain. Denying pain, sorrow, hopelessness, disconnection can work for a long time. We see all the time just how long we can be in denial. Yet, when we have to come to grips with the pain our hating, our anger, our rage, our accusations, our resentment, our bias has caused, perhaps then we will be ready to “let it go.” How will we come to know the pain caused by our own denials?
