Poem: She Let Go

In the breathtaking poem ‘She Let Go’ by Reverend Safire Rose about surrender, Laurie shares a poem that cuts through all the things we do when struggling with loss, pain, grief, change and transition, and brings us down to the bare movement of the heart to release and be free.

Transcript

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 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 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.

In the sun and the moon,

Shone forevermore.

Time for me to let go of trying to figure out how to let go.
Release like the leaf falling from the tree.
Letting go is opening up, allowing, having faith, releasing the tight grasp. Freedom
