As I approach nigh onto 70 years on this planet
I realize a kind of letting go needs to happen in
the arena of one's own hopes and dreams. It is
important NOT to embrace this concept as a giving
up, but rather an acknowledgement of the rational.
For example, I will never bear another child, but
I thrill in my own children and friends of their age.
I won't return to teaching at my high school, but I
much enjoy teaching small classes in Paganism at
my cabin. I can remember my mother telling me
to watch my language. Alas, now it's me . . .
reminding myself to be positive, let go of the
negative and strive for all that is within my reach.
And I intend to do exactly that! I'm going to let
go of the negative, the impossible, the unreachable
and embrace my children, my friends, my man
and whatever is left of this life that the gods have
granted me!

time to say goodbye
letting go of yesteryear
hello tomorrow
