Letting go
Permalink  
 

One of my favourite authors wrote this on Facebook this morning. I thought it was beautiful, so wanted to share:

 

Sometime a star will fall right out of the sky and land in your hand. When you ease your fingers gently closed around it, it will seep inside and become your blood, your flesh, every part of you because you are made of star stuff too. But sometime you might need to put it back into the sky so that others may see its glow, its beauty and it will be hard. But you will find that what is of you is of you forever whether its in the sky or in your hand and you will know what it is to love. Peace friends, travel well today and remember that you have to let go in order to reach out...

It is a beautiful thought. I thank you for sharing it with us and making our day. I also want to share a quote. I don't know who said it. If you do what you always have been doing, you will get what you always have been getting.
