Writing prompt:

For this is wrong, if anything is wrong: not to enlarge the freedom of a love with all the inner freedom one can summon.  We need, in love, to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easily. We do not need to learn it. Rilke (Requiem for a friend – 1909)

What does the freedom of love mean to you?  What do you already know about love, that does not need learning?  Try starting with: I know this about love…  Compare holding on and letting go, and the wisdom you have learned about the process.
