Part 1

"What will you take
from our time together?"
asked the therapist,
as he always did
when drawing a session to a close. 

"That I can continue
to let things be what they are,
to release,
to relinquish control.

Let go.
Let go.
Let go."

Part 2

What falls apart
when I let go?
Nothing.

Either someone else takes over
(if, indeed, anyone needs to)
or things unfold anyway,
just as they were meant to.

Part 3

When I relax into life,
life delights.
