By Rev. Michael Schuler
Many of us feel a deep-seated need to exert control over our surroundings and circumstances. And indeed, it can be painful and even frightening to admit that in certain key respects we are not in a position to call the shots. From a psychological standpoint, holding on seems to be our default position. Letting go is harder, but sometimes it is precisely the right solution.
Rev. Michael A. Schuler has served for twenty-six years as the Parish Minister of the First Unitarian Society of Madison.
