SHEDDING// LETTING GO. Sipra Roy
# Oct,2021, IWWG: Words:
The entire creation of earth , both animate and inanimate ,goes hand in hand in harmony with nature, except the human specie.They flow with the nature, accepting its different seasons either rough or friendly. In the rainy season plants grow lush green leaves but shed them in winter to give way to the spring to welcome new life with budding leaves. They fight only for their own survival but never try to supersede nature. They are destined to do so coherently. Similarly, snakes and some other insects also shed their skin as nature intends them so to sustain their welfare.
Is there any specific season of "emotional shedding' for human? Certainly not; Though we wait eagerly to enjoy and to appreciate each year the beauty of shedding leaves that autumn creates, but we are the last creature to apply or to follow that principle. Most of us suffer from emotional maladies for losing the wisdom of sacrificing or "shedding"; Human emotion contains some adhesive content . It delivers twin products of both positive and negative feeling such as :love and hate, joy and sorrow, loss and gain, weak and strong, Jealousy and pride, attachment and detachment and so on ...
Tide of positive emotion charges energy to surge new enthusiasm which is good not only for own sake but also effective for the entire environment around him /her. But when it is negative ,then emotional typhoon ransacks the life of the person who is victim; Often it become adhesive for a long time and creates mental, physical, relational and also social problems .It gives stress, depression and even may end in suicide . In modern time, the rich and upper middle class, globally, suffer in a realm of emotional haze and mist. This is why we see psychotherapists and yoga schools are mushrooming everywhere around the globe, specially among rich countries and wealthier people.
Surprisingly, 'shedding" happens to human specie when things go wrong with them, when life flutters in negativity! The best creativity in arts and literature flourish at saddest moments, in painful situation when mind. is broken and torn apart by failure and sadness. All the famous epic came out of pain , out of tragedy;
"Our sweetest memories are those that tell of saddest stories".
We can see the achievements of Jackson Pollock, SylviaPlath, Anne sexton and many more as burning examples.
We the human, should take lesson from nature's environment how to flow consistently with nature. Fear of unknowable future, anxiety of insecurity and dishonoring nature as super power have created this distance ;we are cocooned in them like silk worm ;fear of death ,fear of various diseases come one after another like unstoppable waves; they hold leash to allow us to be carefree. This is the plight as well as price of becoming human specie as superior being; this is the universal Story of each and everyone of us , you and me! In contrast with the rest species of nature it is hard for us to surrender at the alter of "letting go"!
While mind is crazy and heart howls,
Let me hold and possess what I wish,
How can I sing along, 'let it be! let it be!'
