Circling back to my post on August 28, . . . I wrote about how I at one time had really loved freshly-sharpened pencils. They motivated me to write, but I hadn’t written with one in a long time. So I did go out and buy a pack of those No. 2 pencils and I sharpened them. I wrote a page in my journal, but I  realized it’s not the same. The love affair is over. No. 2 pencils have been replaced by gel pens.

I guess that’s to be expected. Life is not static. It changes. We change. And what served us and energized us 30 years ago may not have the same affect now. In fact, I suppose in most cases it won’t. We’re simply evolving. In that process we must let go of some things to make space for new things, new ideas, new experiences. I like it.  Pencils and pens are such a small thing. I wonder what else I’ve let go of to grow into what I have and who I am now. That’s my line of reflection this week.

Have you let go of something? Or maybe are hanging on to something that you should turn loose?
