If we've been using our hands as metaphors for centuries, can you imagine a different metaphor for living with the different ideas, projects, relationships, identities in your mind?

If you could take all the most important – or maybe urgent – things from your mind and put them onto the palm of your hand, what would be there?

Why do you think we use the same hand metaphor for understanding and to not giving up when we talk about grasping something?

How do you feel about the old saying about sand and fingers: “If you hold onto it too tightly, it'll slip through your fingers and be lost.”

What would it mean for you to let go of something? What are the implications, what would change in you?

If letting go doesn't mean giving up on, what actions could you take next week to live differently?

What is lightness? Are we thinking about intensity or weight? What would living lighter look like?
