Illusion

If you hold on to the handle, she said, it's easier to maintain the illusion of control. But it's more fun if you just let the wind carry you.

around and around and around



Fall is symbolically a season of change, of moving on, of endings, of maturing, and a million other things. I know we aren't quite into this season yet, but it was on my mind today. I am stillgoing around and around with the changes I've brought upon myself this year - maybe because there are so many new and scary things in my life. Or maybe they're not scary, just exciting, but I tend to be anxious about everything these days whether good or bad. I've been faced with unexpected opportunities lately, which is thrilling and makes me feel honored - but I'm terrified of jumping into a new routine yet again, even as I try to adjust to the one I'm in now. I am blessed in so many ways, and yet I obsess about "getting it right." When am I going to learn to let go of the handle and just let the wind carry
me?
