🧠 Read the full reflection: 👉 Let Go and Live Light

We carry so much we were never meant to hold — old stories, past pain, invisible pressures. This piece is an invitation to release the weight, reclaim your breath, and remember: lightness isn't just a mood, it's a way of being.

Not to express regret

Or blame the fate

Of the unjust or the sorrow

But to be thankful

Of having been provided

With a chance

to let go of the grief"

All of us at some point in our lives, witness a time when we see something disheartening, when we have to face a situation where there doesn't seem to be any hope left, with darkness all around. Loss of a loved one, not being able to express oneself-- the heart craves for an opportunity to unburden the weight seems to be much more than any physical power.

I heard a story about a place where people believe that the only way to end grief of loss is to save a life. If someone is murdered, a year of mourning ends with a ritual called "the drowning man trial". The killer is tied and thrown into the water and the family of deceased is given the opportunity to let the killer drown or swim out and save him. They believe that if the family let's the killer drown, they'll have justice but spend the rest of their life in mourning. But if they save him, they admit that life isn't always fair and the very act can take away their sorrow.
