NOW or THEN

Letting go of what was and accepting what is, not easy to do.  Rationally it makes no sense to cling to a past that no longer exists.  This only increases my suffering.  I know this truth and yet I still allow fear of the unknown to cloud my vision and bind me.  I refuse to accept that change is inevitable and try to hold on to what is no longer mine. 

I will acknowledge and grieve what has passed and release it with gratitude for what it has meant to me.   I will welcome what is in this moment and remain present to it so I can see the gifts NOW holds.  I choose to dwell in the house of today, while honoring what has come before.
