electric current wish I could let go
Thank you. I am in a particularly significant place in my life right now, and this haiku touched me greatly.
It's always important to know when to let go, we are always in a metaphorical river current.

Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful comments — and the humorous "electric current" version, which made me laugh!

Love it!
