Let Go

November 2014. I had Interesting dream this morning. I sprang out of bed to write and share with y’all…

It were as if I was a child, I was in a room with others and my luggage. We were standing around waiting, each with their baggage. Some had more luggage than others but everyone had something and everyone waited quietly in a huddled mass.

As I waited, a large shadowy figure towered over me as he entered the room and took my bag. No words were said as he started wheeling by luggage down a long warehouse corridor. I ran after it and held on tight struggling to get my bag back. I kept my grip tight as I was dragged further and further down the grey hallway away from the group. Fear started to creep in as this struggle progressed and as I disappeared into the cold emptiness. It was soon clear that I was doing all the fight, all of the struggle. The luggage puller didn’t flinch. It was as if he didn’t notice I was there as he continued down the grey hallway.

And then a realization came — I CAN LET GO. Yes, it WAS my baggage but I can let it go.

I let go of the baggage and overwhelming freedom engulfed me.

I was being dragged down in fear only because of my own tight grip.

Let go of the baggage that is dragging you down.

Give it up and dance in freedom.
