    A friend posted this on Facebook and I thought it would be nice to share here.

    She Let Go
    She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
    She let go of fear. She let go of the judgments.
    She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
    She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
    She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely,
    without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
    She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a
    book on how to let go… She didn’t search the scriptures.
    She just let go.
    She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
    She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
    She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
    She didn’t promise to let go.
    She didn’t journal about it.
    She didn’t write the projected date in her day-timer.
    She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
    She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
    She just let go.
    She didn’t analyse whether she should let go.
    She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
    She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
    She didn’t call the prayer line.
    She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.
    No one was around when it happened.
    There was no applause or congratulations.
    No one thanked her or praised her.
    No one noticed a thing.
    Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
    There was no effort. There was no struggle.
    It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
    It was what it was, and it is just that.
    In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
    A small smile came over her face.
    A light breeze blew through her.
    And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.

    I like that. And I think it speaks to how the “letting go” happens – it just does. I know that’s not very tangible advice for those who are having trouble detaching but I like to think it provides hope that some day, in the not so distant future, it will just happen, without fanfare…you’ll just “let go”

    Quite profound.

    Detaching, or letting go, is not something we do with our heads or even with our hearts.

    It just happens.

    At least that’s how it was for me. ~ JoAnn

    Thanks Bonnie. Lovely poem. The author must have also been involved with with an abusive pervert.

    I have felt so stuck and have done all of the things listed in that poem and I still feel stuck. It will happen, in its own time, and I need to have faith in that. Thank you.

    Very nice. I wonder if we get to enjoy the poem more than others with our particular predicament.
    Thanks for sharing.

    It’s comforting to know there are other women out there going through and feeling the same thing I am. It is so hard to let go. I don’t want to let go. I know it is best for me if I let go.
