control & letting go

"Let go of the dark, which you wrap yourself in like a straitjacket,
and let in the light, Stop trying to protect, to rescue, to judge, to
manage the lives around you - your children's lives, the lives of your
husband, your wife, your friends - because that is just what you are
powerless to do. Remember that the lives of other people are not your
business, they are their business."

Frederick Buechner's Telling Secrets quoted in What Dying People Want
(p 259)

And now I shall let go myself and take my migraine to bed.
