To illustrate, I have dropped my rope, but have discreetly stepped on it with my boot to keep it in place and am looking the other way hoping no one else has noticed. That's where I AM, but not where I want to BE. Trying to get there.
Haha! I love that analogy And I can really relate to it as well. I've learned that letting go happens in stages, and at each stage I thought "OK, I'm there, I've well and truly let go!" Then I got to the next stage and thought "Hmmm, well I thought I had let go but now I can see I was still hanging on, but NOW I've really let go!" And then another stage happens, and another... So I think we often convince ourselves we've let go, but we're really somewhere in the middle of the process of letting go, but not at the end yet.
