Let it go -- the‎

By e. e. cummings
(1894 - 1962)

 

let it go -- the
smashed word broken 
open vow or
the oath cracked length
wise -- let it go it
was sworn to
go

let them go -- the
truthful liars and
the false fair friends
and the boths and
neithers -- you must let them go they
were born
to go

let all go -- the
big small middling
tall bigger really
the biggest and all
things -- let all go
dear

so comes love

So many of our difficulties are caused by clinging to things and experiences when it is time for them to leave our lives. We cling to them because we identify with them. We believe they are somehow essential to who and what we are. if I look deep into things I still seek which I should let go I see they aren't really real... merely projections into feelings I opened to and not truly attached to what I an clinging to for if it was thy wil,it would just be.

 Letting go, in the proper time, restores our balance and perspective. It reminds us that we are not those things and experiences,  It reminds us that even with loss and change, we ourselves remain -- full of life and undiminished.

Let it go. With love. With gratitude.‎

I let it go today......amen
