We hold it all so close, wanting it all to fit and be exactly as its pictured in our mind. What if I let go, let is all fall out of my arms of control and scatter all over the place, scatter far and wide. What if I took joy in observing how it all scatters, how far it all goes, out of my control.
Then slowly, gently, peacefully, patiently, I gather each one, pick it up, examine it, and maybe put it down to be gathered later. Allow this process to become cathartic and therapeutic. So every moment becomes a harmonious celebration of scattering and gathering all at the same time.
What if this holiday season, I make the space for all of me to scatter fully, safely, with no restrictions, and I gather myself lovingly at the same time.
