Paddling Backwards

Lately, I feel that I am paddling backwards against the current (and may I add, a damn fast current). Things in my life are zooming past me, and yet I cannot help but feel helpless. I feel out of control with a lot of things. The more I want to assert control, the more it seems to be loosening the grip I had on it. Perhaps I need to learn to let go, and just let things flow..
