Letting go.

There is time, and there is your choice. The time is limited and the choice is too. When you have figured out that you are not sure one way or the another and you are out of time, what do you do? Do you take the plunge, or do you back off? And once you have decided that you will back off, how do you let go? I once saw in Dawson's Creek, "There are no rights or wrongs, only consequences of your acactions." What is one to do when the clarity is not there. Ideally, you would hope that you have the clarity. Clarity is difficult to achieve, but when it comes, it comes. You cannot force it, it is a slow process that sets in, eventually. Clarity is not just understanding the consequences and accepting it. Clarity is when you are completely at peace with yourself. You know that any course of action that you are going to be taking is going to have consequences and you are completely comfortable with the course that you are going to take. It is an almost ethereal, out of body experience. It is almost like taking a dip in a mountain river on a hot sunny day. The cold water rushes by your body and you can feel all your extremities cooling down and all you can think of is that one sensation with a feeling of being relaxed. Alas, when you have got to make a decision, and you don't have the clarity, well, all you got is the consequences of your actions and the dull ache of letting go.
