Poetry and Photography: Liberate This Soul

Cloud Dancing with Full Moon 2017

Tired of trying to figure it out.

Tired of trying to make things work.
Tired of manipulating circumstances
to make things work.

“When we resist change, it’s called suffering.” -Pema Chodron

When I shared this poem a friend shared this quote. When I first read the quote, I thought, “I’m not resisting any change. There’s absolutely no change happening in my life.”

Then I thought about it more. It’s true there is no outside change occurring for me. Yet, good golly, there’s tons of internal change. And there was my aha moment. Resisting the change to let it all go. All the control. All the manipulation. All the likes and dislikes. Let it all go. Surrender and allow what will happen naturally if “I” get out of the way.

Blessings,
Camilla
