\nWhat does it take to let go so that something new that is calling has a chance to be freed up in our lives? And what does it take to be the ones who can support others - especially those we love and want to cling to - to let go when it's called for?

\nSet the Tigers Free\n\nFarewell to my only friend\nYou've been so good to me\nNow the carnival has ended\nLet's set the tigers free\n
\n\nThe spring was always early\nAnd the winter never came\nBut since I got this hunger\nIt just hasn't been the same\n
\n\nI'm leaving for the great wide open plains\nLeaving while this holy spark remains\nI see you've written promises to make me stay\nBut it really doesn't matter now anyway\nI'm leaving\n
\n\nTrue love feeds on absences like pleasure feeds on pain\nSo no matter where I'm standing I still love you all the same\nAnd I hope you feel the same way when its your turn to disappear\nI'll be cheering from the sidelines with a sandwich and a beer\n
\n\nAnd all at once I step outside into the wind and rain\nI let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same\n
\n\n(And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain\nI let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same)\nby Villagers (song lyrics by Conor O'Brien)\n\n
