American band, The War on Drugs, released a song called, Pain, August of this year.
Within the lyrics are the words, “I resist what I cannot change.”
From personal experience the hardest moments to let go — trust and forgive — are the most painful, the ones I really don’t want to look at, what feels the most shameful.
“Pull me close and let me hold you in,
“Give me the deeper understanding of who I am.”
When I have the courage, allow myself to remember and be with my pain, I free myself.
In the interconnectedness of All, when I do this and let go, space opens for others to do the same.
My pain is your pain is my pain is your pain until I let go. . .
