I read this quote "But letting go is not giving up. You don't have to give up to let go. Letting go means that you become the picnic. The lighthouse. You are no longer moving TOWARDS them, but they know where you are and can move towards you if they ever decide to. The analogies of the picnic and the lighthouse are perfect metaphors for letting go (stop moving towards them!), but not giving up." I think this is for the DB envisioning her seeing what she has left, and will come back. Yep, I am a mess..
Mach I think the picnic and the Lighthouse analogies are great for the newbies who are spinning. If you are still looking at these analogies years down the road than you may be stuck. There are a lot of women looking for a good dude to spend some time with and appreciate him.
