We’re writing a new song about letting go based on my most recent experiences over the past 10 years starting with my mom’s death. Since that point, it seems as though anything that my ego overly identified with or attached itself to has been tested and eroded by the 5 planetary placements in the 12th house in my natal chart.
We all have to let go of the things we love at some point in our lives. It could be attachments to our identification with our possessions, our home, our cars, our partners and children, family and friends, our job, our physical abilities and self-image, our money, social standing, and the list can go on and on.
Over the past 10 years it feels like I’m being asked to learn how to dissolve my ego and the identification with these attachments and spend more and more time living in the moment, flowing with the current of the universe without grasping onto anything too tightly. Being grateful for the experience when it’s there and releasing it when the time comes with grace, as it’s all temporary and none of it is truly our possession.
Nothing is mine over the course of time, I’m borrowing it all for the moment, for the day, for the year or this lifetime. At some point, it gets washed away, until then I’m learning to take each day as it comes my way with as much ease and grace as I can.
