Week 21: Chapter 20 — "The Release"

1.What does Bob mean by "the release," and what specific story or image does he use to illustrate it? What made the moment of release significant?

2.Bob seems to understand that love must eventually let go — of children, of outcomes, of people we have invested in. Is letting go an act of love or a failure of love? How do you hold those together?

3.Think of a time you had to release something or someone you loved — a child leaving home, a friend moving away, a dream that didn't come true. What did that release teach you about the nature of love?
