I find myself unable
to save those whom I love
in the way that seems best to me
for one who likes control
to see them spinning out
sometimes engenders blame
guilt
hopelessness
it is in giving up
in handing over the lives of those I love
to themselves, to fate, to their choices and the whims of the universe
that peace comes
I can love them without saving them
support them without rescuing them
find joy in their success
not judge their failures
keep an eye to the heavens
where the vast infinite starry mass
has seen this all again and again and again

Such truth here.

Yes, releasing our grip and alleged control of people and situations frees us (and them). Easier said than done though.

We all have to learn by and for ourselves. No one can save anyone else. Each of us has to find our own way and that’s okay, it’s the only way to be who you are.
