Letting Go

"When you let go of the belief that you should or need to know who you are, what happens to confusion? Suddenly it is gone.

Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself."

Sylvia Plath Poet, Novelist
Letting Go

"One night she hid the pink cotton scarf from her raincoat in the pillowcase when the nurse came around to lock up her drawers and closets for the night.

But always just as the air stopped coming and she felt the rushing grow louder in her ears, her hands would slacken and let go, and she would lie there panting for breath, cursing the dumb instinct in her body that fought to go on living"
