I had an event, recently in my life, that this quote truly applies to. I have no idea what happened. I may never know what happened, and, in the end, I need to make peace with that. It has been a couple of months now and what I am realizing is that I have spent far too much time rerunning a really bad piece of an otherwise delightful "movie" of a time in my life. What this is doing is spoiling the otherwise great memories. My need to know, to control, to understand isn't serving me well in this instance. I need to shut it down and move on: to hold onto the great memories and the cherished times and let the rest go. Not that I will forget. There are some learnings there that I need to hold on to, but to keep experiencing the pain, the sadness, the loss - that is masochistic. My choice, then, is to surrender to not knowing. I'm good with that.
