Interesting piece John. Thanks. This - "There are times, when we are working on creative projects, that the project itself seems to know where it wants to go." - especially resonates, and also reflects the paradox of letting go ... we're far more likely to end up with a result which seems to "fit".

Thanks for the comment Eric. Our resistance to letting go is possibly one of the greatest cause of stress, both for those you can't let go, and those who are subjugated to people's urge to control. Feels like it is one of those things we learn only through experience and our faith in the process - difficult to teach.

Yes. Holding on is a learned pattern. Through experience we learn to change the pattern, so that it's overridden by a new one. It's not teachable.
