"The matter at hand is serious. It's grave. We need to get serious about the relationship. We need to get serious about the task. etc....
Maybe what we really need to do is learn to lighten up.
Nations rise and fall, heroes are born and die, the sun rises and sets, and you want me to take seriously the notion that arriving to church wearing the right clothes is going to make any difference at all?
What matters is in our hearts.
'The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly', G.K. Chesterton once wrote. Once you stop taking yourself so seriously and let go of the gravity of all that you do, you can learn to fly, too.
God, help me lighten up."
This is from The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie.
