She
let go.
She
let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She
let go of the 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 analyze 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…
