I love this quote from one of America’s greatest poets. The idea that
we can simultaneously let go of the past to make way for a beginning, and allow
the past to inform the next phase in our lives, is such a beautiful thought.
It’s a tricky business:
letting go and holding on. It involves surrender and faith, both the belief that we are not in charge and the conviction that we will play a
part, that there is more to come.
For me, the only way I can
keep such a conundrum in balance is through my walk with God. I look to Him to help me remember the past so
that He can resurrect the future.
What do you need to let go
of? And, in turn, what do you need to
lay hold of?
