Notes from the quirky life of a practicing contemplative (emphasis on "practicing"), teacher, learner, auntie, weirdo, and dog mama. Title quote from "Aurora Leigh" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

This post is for the May synchroblog, Life Unfurling. This month bloggers write about what they've learned and gained by letting go of something they once held tightly. Last fall I went through a process of loss and grace that I wrote about in choosing a sometimes extravagant and ridiculous life, grief and gratitude, and saying goodbye. Rather than rewriting all of this, I hope referencing these posts will be okay. I love the synchroblog idea! As a result of these losses I've experienced how faithful and loving God is. In my greatest time of need, as in my not-so-great, God cares for and takes care of me, even when I cannot sense it. Being given a greater understanding of God's care and faithfulness is a richness that cannot be put into words, so I encourage you to let go of something which you may be holding too tightly and see for yourself how high and deep God's love is, from which we are never separated.
