The Art Of Letting Go.
Letting go of the past.
Beliefs, concerns, ideals.
Love, loss.
Finding a space between blame
and responsibility.
Learning to live without regret,
still learning from mistakes.
Releasing attachment to person, place and thing.
Then, now, and future.
Expectations met, exceeded, destroyed.
Delusions of reality, but a reality free
from delusions of self, other.
Balancing care and releasing other.
Redesigning lives according to what’s left
Us. We.
Guarding against the hardening,
knowing its the only way to survive.
Learning to love the burden,
Not burdened by love.
Setting the heart free from the mind,
minding the heart.
Choosing the path, the noble goal.
While releasing the endpoints, the
way stations, the depots.
Riding the train on solid track, a map to follow,
but the destination created along the way.
Finding empty space,
and being happy with just that.
