light and playful

This is a reflection / prayer from a recent journal entry of mine: I have been realising that my mind gathers experiences and thoughts, weaving them together into dark, heavy, solid objects, making terrible meanings of them, and I clutch these in fear, trying to fix or make sense of this terrible heavy burden. What You are inviting me to do is to let go – to realise that the way in which I have woven these thoughts and experiences together is faulty. As I ease my anxious grasping and gradually let go, I discover the lightness and freedom that is possible when I stop trying to clutch, fix and control. What I thought of as heavy and terrible can be as light and playful as water plants dancing in the gentle current.
