Personal Guidance
The demigods, properly worshiped, offer their best benedictions and return to their abodes. Even cosmic beings, once honored, give and depart. Do not cling to those who have done their part.
Reflection Questions
- Where are you clinging to figures who have already given their gift and need to leave?
- How does graceful release of helpers honor what they offered?
