The Path of Letting Go — Part I

Waving Goodbye

3 min read2 days ago

Today I am taking you into the first part of my inner work. Today it’s about letting go. This is a kind of ceremonial farewell. A letting go with great gratitude.

Are you letting something go too?

I feel the words rage inside me. Wild and chaotic, like a whirlwind.
I feel the desire to give these words space, to give them air and time to sort themselves out.
They want to be obedient, to flow out of me, to be seen and heard.

These words settle like a veil of dust on my hands.
With every letter, they want to tell us their story.

Perhaps they are not just thoughts — perhaps they are also them, my loyal companions.

With dizzying speed, the words spin around themselves until they finally reach my fingers and thus the keyboard.
From my head, a pull arises — into our world, to flow and to be.

Is it something very specific that is causing unrest here, inside me today?

It is the silence, a thousand small deaths, already died and not yet fully gone. Slow fading away, full of the pains of the past.
Soon it will be time to say goodbye.

We have been in symbiosis for so long. Like one whole, we belonged together.
United and carved from the same wood.
You have nourished me, protected me, and stabilized me with strength and perseverance.

You held my inner resistance and were my silent defenders.
You have helped me to maintain boundaries, to transform pressure, and to store things.
Parts of me. I love you very much.

Thank you for standing faithfully by my side for so many years.
With devotion, you may now begin your final journey — the path of saying goodbye, of leaving my side, and of leaving with love.

Thank you for your lifelong sacrifice and dedication.
With love and endless gratitude, I return you to our beloved Mother Earth.
May you now walk your last path with ease.

I’m glad you’ve read this far.
Have you been able to find yourself in my words?
Do you also have something that you would like to let go of in gratitude?

I invite you to leave me a comment, let me know how you’re doing,
and what you’re letting go of in your life right now —
because it’s nicer to let go together.
Love and light, your Liorah! ❤
