If you were to take all the struggles you are currently enduring
And refer to them as ‘keys’ to the mystery of life,
We can use this imagery
To walk through some ideas together

                    Follow along if you can…

Place all those keys in a bowl

     Imagine the bowl by the front door in your house

          As you step through the threshold of your door
               Place the keys in the bowl

Drop them

          Place them

                    Toss them

                              Use whatever means you wish

          Just place the keys in the bowl

In essence,
     The idea is to detach yourself
          From the journey you’ve endured
               (Or enjoyed)
          In order to let go of its energy

     If the recent drive was a burden
          Drop the key to the experience into the bowl
               As you would lay the burden in the hands of God
          Trusting the Holy Ones willingness
               To love and support you through it

          Should your journey be light and engaging of the heart
               Place the key in the bowl
                    In such a way as to show appreciation to the Holy One
                         For all things good

The trick is to entrust whatever is your current experience to Spirit
     In order to let go of the tendency
          To dwell endlessly on the oddities
                    Of this or that situation

We tend to overburden ourselves
     When we carry too much all at once

               Consider this…

We cannot make a bowl
     Where our heart should be

     Our heart needs to be free to breathe
          To expand
               To be held up with enough space left
                    To accept the love of the universe intended for us to receive

When we hold all the keys
     To all the many stories in our circle
          In our hands at once
     We fall out of balance
          With that which is within our ability to control

          In this state of unintentional overwhelm
               We begin to panic

               The keys begin to fall from our hands
                    (As is God’s intention
                         To unburden us)

     As we watch things fall
          Clattering to the floor
               Our brain begins to criticize

                    We shame and blame ourselves
                         For not being better able to
                              Do more
                                   Do better

Let me remind you…

     We aren’t meant to juggle with keys
          They don’t cooperate…

     There are too many variables
          Each with different weights
               Sizes
                    Configurations

     What if there was a way
               To share the multitude?

One would perhaps need to forgive oneself the truth
     We are not capable of solving everyone else’s issues
          Nor are we meant to,
               Clearly,
                    But this does not stop us from trying

Your kindness,
     Your empathetic nature,
          Strong intellect
               And
          Ability to find logical solutions to complex issues
               Has been duly noted
                    On this side of the affair

                         The idea of letting go
                              An area of practice needed

We love you
     For all you are and
          All you do

               Now is the time to love yourself equal to what we do

The Swirling thoughts held in your head
     Are more than is your intended share

          So,

                    Place the keys in the bowl

                              All of them

     Place all the keys in the bowl
          As you enter your home
               And seek to create
                    A place of peace and sanctity and rejuvenation
                         Within the walls of your home

(This may take some time, Dear one,
     You’re out of practice…)

     Equally,
          When you head out the door into your day
               Reach again into the bowl
          Choosing wisely,
               The set of keys which will carry you along a gentle path

     You cannot drive your car in five directions at once
          Is it any wonder
               No destination reached satisfies you, of late?

Choose one path
     And only one
          The smaller goal reached
               Bringing a sense of completion

     Don’t choose the largest most complex destination
          Small and heart centred
               Will boost your sense of self, tenfold

We encourage you to consider this…

     If the keys are not in your basket
          You cannot hold yourself responsible
               For what happens on that path

Perhaps drop a few sets out the window
     On your way to small successes

               We love you that much as to wish this for you

Let go, dear one
     Create peace within
          Because you deserve it!

                         With love,

                                   The Universe and all that is
