Letting go can be a very therapeutic experience.
Upon participating in a lantern ceremony over the cool waters of Nassau, I experienced the tranquility and relief of letting go. Just as the initial spark of a lighter lit a flame the material under the lantern, so does temptations, mistakes and ill deeds create a source of chaos for me. When my mind and emotions feel scrambled, challenged or near defeat. As the hot air fills the balloon, the emission affects of this harmful substance fills my heart, spirit and soul; seeking desperately for a way out. Once the balloon has reached its air capacity it is ready to take off, be set into the sky, fueled by the air which has consumes it. This I can do. I envision myself simply releasing past doubts, fears, indifference and negativity into the air and watching it float away. Today I likened my emotional baggage to that of garbage sent to the dump several days ago due to post expiration, heaviness and a high tendency to cause accidents lol. However there is some truth to it.
I encourage you to let go, let it ALL go. In the name of sanity, self purification and a clutter free life.

Great post. I love it!
One of the amazing things about life is that just like seasons change we have to change also. Watch a tree- in the Spring it blossoms and its life becomes cluttered, in the Summer it continues but Fall comes and it begins to lose its leaves. By Winter it is clear again. There comes a time for us when we have to de-clutter. So we can grow & change. Loving this post- I am now about to de-clutter my home.
Keep at it!
