“Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength - carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” These words were written by the author Corrie ten Boom, who knew something about worry as she and her family helped Jews escape the Nazis by hiding them in their home. At least, until they were caught, and she was placed in a concentration camp. It’s a testament to her experience and her wisdom that she came out of these situations espousing the importance of letting go of worry. It’s something that the sages have told us throughout the ages, from Buddha to Christ, and yet I think we often resign ourselves to our worry. Today we look at how we might truly let go of worry, coming to notice that the part of us that worries isn’t truly us, but more like a thundercloud in the sky of our mind that we’ve decided to follow around in our over-identification with a limited idea of who we are, what we call “ego.”
