Relief is in the Release

From me to me…

Even if you’re dangling from what feels like the end of your rope,

there is another one waiting.

Not a rope to bind you or tie you down,

but a moment of release.

The fear of letting go—

of losing control,

of no longer gripping for your life—

that is where the relief lives.

The fear of falling, of failing, dissipates

as you open to the awareness that you are held.

This was never the end.

It was offered as an experience—

one you were meant to have—

to right yourself,

to elevate,

and to continue on your path.

Like the game,

you are Mario—

you will always reset.

Release the grip

and allow the relief.

It is the focus on what was,

rather than the river of infinite possibilities,

that keeps you in what feels like the end—

the period.

But it is only a semicolon, dear one;

a pause, not the end.

There is always another lifeline waiting for you

to flourish and thrive.

Look toward the unknown with wonder,

with hope,

and with full awareness

that all is,

and will be,

okay.
