She let go.
Without a thought or a word,
She let go.
She let go of fear.
She let go of 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.
Holy 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 the memories that held her back.
She let go of all the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all 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 the weather.
She just 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 across her face.
A light breeze blew through her and the sun and the moon shone forevermore.
Thank you to Sapphire Rose for the words in that poem.
Now imagine being barefoot on your favorite beach.
Facing the water and its endless horizon.
Within the fragrance of ocean life.
Whatever you would like to let go of,
Ride it down in the sand in front of your feet with your hand.
When the tide arrives and flows past your toes,
Watch the words disappear as the waves run back home into the ocean.
And allow Mother Nature to wash it all away.
As you easily,
Effectively and elegantly let it go.
