I just want to make it better. . .

"Letting go means opening oneself to something else coming in." ~Chinese idiom The Chinese work "wang" can mean "to go" and "to come back". It is derived from the character meaning "master". Lao-tse, the ancient Chinese philosopher, suggested that true mastery in life is based on the ability to let go.

All of this is from a card that I purchased years ago during a difficult time in my life when another important relationship ended. At that time, my H came into the picture and I thought that everything had worked out for the best. H was much better suited to me than any other man I have ever been involved with.

I've been thinking a lot lately about this concept of mastery being based on the ability to let go. I'm not really sure how to reconcile it with commitment and loyalty.
