Do you sometimes find it hard to relinquish something once it is past its 'use by' date? A beloved item of clothing or footwear? A coffe cup, chipped or cracked? A house, loved and known, oozing memory from every board? I struggle with letting physical objects go. But even more so, I wrestle with the gift of detachment: of not allowing something or someone or some ideology, ownership over me to the point that I am unable to surrender it up. This is not about not loving or caring or a lack of commitment. For me, it is more about living passionately, RIGHT NOW, in this moment, so that if everything I cherish disappears, I can still continue to live fully RIGHT NOW.
