You need to learn to let go.

Have you ever heard someone say that or wondered if you could do it?

Let go, let it all go.

It sounds wonderful if what you're carrying is heavy.

Addiction, brokenness, failure, set it down, rest easy for a moment.

But we're also holding on to so much that we can't live without.

A kid who needs you to get down on your knees and hold them when it's not okay.

A parent who needs you to reach out and smooth their hair.

Our own tender hearts who love and want and need a second to feel joy again.

In moments like this, the idea of letting it go seems impossible.

I don't want to let it go.

I want to hold on.

My guest today understands the limits and joys of learning to hold on and learning to

let go.

I am so grateful to be speaking with him today.

Other Richard Roar is the founder of the Center of Action and Contemplation.

For decades, he has been an internationally recognized author and spiritual leader and

fundamentally decent human being a joy to meet.

I'm so grateful to meet you today.

Thank you so much for doing.

Okay, it's wonderful to meet you.

Thank you.
