Let Go
=======
.
One day while climbing towards a high cliff a man slipped and
fell over the edge.
.
Frantic - he grabbed at a branch jutting out from a tree and
yelled out,
.
“Oh, God, help me.”
.
He looked down while holding on tight and saw only jagged rocks.
.
Clutching even tighter to the branch he cried out again,
.
“God…Please help me.”
.
Suddenly he felt God’s presence and heard God ask,
.
“My son, what can I do for you?’
.
The man, somewhat relieved, answered,
.
“Please God, help me. Save me.”
.
God said quietly,
.
“Do you love me?
.
Do you trust me?
.
Do you believe in me?”
.
“Yes, yes, I love you. I trust you and I believe in you,”
the man shouted.
.
“Well, if indeed you love me, trust me, and believe in me,
.
LET GO.”
.
With some hesitation and another look below at the jagged rocks,
the man asked,
.
“Is there anybody else up there I can talk to?”
.
We often seek other answers when our real answer can only come
when we “Let Go” of some things.
.
Though the above is an often-told joke, it is a true parable.
So often in counseling, I tell people the same thing.
.
“You have got to let go. That situation is killing you.
It is killing your peace, your finances, and your future.
.
You must let go!”
.
Often they will inwardly feel just as the hanging man asked,
.
“Is there anybody else that I can talk to, because I am afraid
to let go? I know the situation is killing me, that’s why I’m
here. I know that what I am holding on to is destined to die.
I know I cannot fully live while I remain embraced with it.
.
But I am soooo… afraid.
.
Afraid that I might fall if I let go.”
.
Like a person on drugs, you often must “come down” before you

Born Jamaican - By Tony Robinson

There is nobody like a Jamaican, Nobody! Sometimes it’s difficult to determine where someone comes from. Drop us into the vast mosaic of the peoples of the world and try to figure out who is who.
.
“Him is from China, no, is Japanese, but him could be Korean still.” The same goes for people from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, or Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana. We just can’t tell them apart. Not so with Jamaicans though, who stand out and stick out like beacons in the night. Foreigners know us in a flash, and we can identify each other from way across the street. We are so distinct that other people try to walk, talk and act like us.
.
I’m so amused when I encounter Americans, Europeans, Japanese, [Madam Cleo, or Ron] trying to act Jamaican. “Hey mon, wha hoppening mon, eberyting irie?” I usually reply in my most proper English. If they are Japanese, I say, “Sukiyaki, Sayonara, Sony, Toyota Mitsubishi.” Just to keep them guessing.
OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE!
.
“So you speak Japanese?”
.
“Ah so, Nissan, Sanyo, Toyota Tercel..”
.
But what makes us so different from other people? First it’s the walk, nobody walks like us. People in foreign walk briskly, head straight, arms swinging almost in military fashion, with a stride and purpose like they’re going somewhere. Not us though, who saunter with a rhythm that is almost slow motion. No hurry, no scurry, no flurry, no rushy rushy, just cool, with a bop and rhythm that could be put to music. Years ago we used to call it bop. For some it’s natural while others practiced it.

I never met a spring day I didn’t like…
Or summer, autumn and winter, too.
You’ve turned the prettiest flowers the color of the rainbow…
And the sky the most beautiful blue.

The man whispered
“God, speak to me.”
And a meadowlark sang
But the man did not hear.
…
So the man yelled
“God speak to me!”
And the thunder rolled across the sky
But the man did not listen.
