How to Let Go? Just Hang On. How to Hang On? Just Let Go.

I tried to write a comment on my friend's blog post, and I could not get it to work!  Unable to "Let it Go", I am going to re-post it here, along with my comment. ahahha, yep, I couldn't let it go...

The 12 Steps and Zen Koans,  by Bill K.



In recovery everything is backwards. I was taught by my parents (the same ones that also occasionally made pancakes for dinner - I can relate) taught me that when I got the end of my rope, I should tie a big knot and hang on. There was a popular poster out at that time (in the 70's when posters were cool) of a tiny kitten hanging on to a big knot. It said "Hang in There Baby"


Now I know that when I get to the end of my rope, I need to let go. And if I am spiritually fit, I might not even have to wait until I get to the end of it. And someday, I may not even pick up the rope!


Thanks for a great post Bill K.
