Find beauty in the act of letting go. In the space it creates, find room to grow Embrace the emptiness, the void's embrace. In the process of release, find some grace. Let go of attachments, loosen the ties. In the empty space a new sunrise. Gentle surrender is a sacred art. In the process of release, it mends the heart.
This poem is full of priceless advice for handling difficult situations and getting by in life without being too damaged by them. Are you a Buddhist, Paul? 'Letting go of attachments' is the very cornerstone of their philosophy.
This is such a gentle, beautiful, hopeful poem. It could be the theme poem of my blog, Shy Guy Meets the Buddha!
Thanks for setting the tone for my day, Paul. 🙏💚

I am probably everything that has once upon a time affected me in some way, Martin.
You are the great river of you.
Just rolling on, Martin
Letting go of the past allows for the future to come forth.
Letting go of the past also allows you to enjoy the present moment, too!
