Releasing Your Grip – Possessing Life is Letting Life Possess You

We hold on and we hold on hard. We hold on to a whole bunch of things. And what we choose to hold onto is based on whether we deem those things to be of sufficient value or not. Then, the intensity of our grip on each of these individual things is determined by the degree of value they each have to us. Because we value so many things and because we deem so many of them as so vital to us, it’s likely that we’re holding onto a whole bunch of things with a whole lot of force.

Yet, I would wonder if life is about us holding onto things, or is it more about life holding onto us? Is life about possession or being possessed by all the wonder that life has to offer? In some sense, I wonder if we don’t have it all backwards. And if that is so, maybe we want to revisit how we live and what we hold.
