A small water practice

Open your hands

Name one thing you are still gripping. Say it aloud, or whisper it to a leaf and set the leaf on moving water. Then open your hands and watch it go.

“Every time you have opened your hands … something was already waiting on the other side.”

From Passage Thirteen, The Turning Tide in Surrender to Self, Amal Lana’s lyric memoir in thirteen passages.
