John 12:1-8; Isaiah 43:16-21

People throw around the phrase, “Let it go” like a child throws out laughter—Easy and light.I wish that’s how I knew it.I wish it felt that simple.Instead I have to talk myself into a better frame of mind.I have to drag one foot in front of the other until I’m closer to love.I have to sing my mother’s words in my head until I can’t hear anything else.And I pray for letting go that feels like taking off shoes—a sort of coming home.I pray for letting go that won’t always involve a battle between heart and mind.I pray for letting go that moves like muscle memory, but it never does.Letting go has never been as easy as holding tight.Why is that?So now and again I stand in the rain and let the clouds teach me a thing or twoabout release.And when that doesn’t work,I think about the way my mother’s body broke so that she could let me go—Yet another body broken for me.And when that doesn’t work,I find myself on my knees—a sort of coming home,And I pray,Teach me a thing or two about grace.Teach me a thing or two about letting go.And I inhale.And I exhale.Air drawn in.Air let go.And I recognize God in my lungs, and I can’t help but laugh,Easy and light
