Let Be

Life is change. Perhaps this is the reason why “letting be” is difficult. I find this concept challenging, as I want to fix and resolve my own issues, along with everyone else’s problems. This leaves me exhausted in mind, body, and spirit. Nature is an excellent example of “letting be”. Mother Earth doesn’t interfere as her children face obstacles. Often, she creates them, allowing her children “to be” in them for the sake of experience and growth.

As my children age, I’m finding it more important to let them be. Honestly, they do not want or value my assistance. Helping when called upon, I will gladly do. Finding my own validation and worth in supporting them, is problematic. It is beneficial to all of us, in the end, to let them be. As a mother, this is hard, as their entire existence has been my responsibility. Handing it over to someone less qualified(themselves) is terrifying.

For now, I will let be, a little each day, Some days will be harder than others, but with pain, comes progress. My own sanity is at stake. The more I push them, the harder my life is. To let be, in my own space and at my own pace, I will find the greatest reward, peace.
