      In order to say ‘yes’, we must learn to say ‘no’. Relinquishment is the way to get things done. It allows priorities to emerge. When we set stuff aside – status, possessions, our addiction to busyness and being right – we create opportunity. Relinquishment is vital for friendship, and marriage. It helps us know when to back off. Learning to keep quiet is part of building relationships.Relinquishment alleviates stress. It is the art of letting go — relieving, relaxing, sighing out that pent-up frustration. Relinquishment unbuttons the strait-jacket of pressure, and restores the richness of being alive.Relinquishment creates simplicity. By living as simply as possible, we can become a greater channel of blessing.By living with less we have space for what matters. Penelope Wilcock lives on England’s south coast, and is author of many books including The Hawk and the Dove series. She blogs at Kindred of the Quiet Way.

      Many Christians still feel uneasy about the idea that women are equal, preferring to speak of complementary roles, rather than genuine equality. This attitude has deep roots. An emphasis on the story of Adam and Eve has shaped the entire Judaeo-Christian tradition, and frequently appears in Church teaching.
