Dear Judevine,
Have you ever been parted with the knife before or is this truly the first time in 14 years?
Would suggest thinking about the meaning the knife has for you & why you might "need" or wish to be parted from it during your 21 day cleanse.
I agree that sometimes things just happen and other times we are more involved in the process, though not always consciously.
Many things are never fully explained but that adds to the wonder & mystery of life.
peace & joy,
holobon
