“I am singing a song that can only be born after losing a country.” —Joy Harjo, Conflict Resolution for Holy BeingsThis is a brief analysis of letting go. This lack of know-how often manifests as hoarding, ghosting, and the very human fear of change and confrontation. As a collective, how do we say goodbye to the structures and traditions that no longer serve, protect, and preserve us?

But letting it go does not invalidate the warmth I enjoyed over a shared feast with friends and family.
