Let It Be

I am bit by bit embracing the genius of The Beatles.  While I might like to post about what a great song, Rocky Raccoon is, because it is very awesome.  This post is about Let It Be, as a mantra and as a song that captures the ultimate philosophy for living life.

I regret to admit that Saturday was probably my worst day as a father.  There were a couple of instances where I simply lacked patience or understanding.  Each of these uniquely led to me ultimately expressing frustration.

I reflected on what brought me to these situations and in each moment it was simply because I could not find within myself the resources to be effective in the moments that required me to be.  I was frustrated that I did not have the capabilities required to influence circumstance towards a different direction. 

I could not let them just be, I for whatever reason tried to force the river in another direction.  I know you can't move the river, let it be.

I am learning each day and I recognize the gap between where I am and where I am going.  With each step ignorance is incrementally reduced.

When I find myself in times of trouble...... Let it be.

No greater words of wisdom, let it be.

Do yourself a favor and give Let It Be a spin, you'll be happy you did. 

When that is done give Rocky Raccoon a try.  The question I have about this track is this, is Paul channeling folk singer on this, or is it that all folk singers are channeling Paul?  Genius.
