Hops:

I'm glad you found some peace in that message. 

I did too.

Thank you for posting it here.

I want to share this poem with you... for some reason this thread made me think of it.

SHE LET GO

 
She let go. Without a thought or 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 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.
And the sun and the moon shone forever more.

Hopalong:
Oh, that's an amazing poem, Lighter...
to
the
point.

THANK YOU!

Ales2:
Bumping this up because I used it again today....

I am very thankful for all the people who have left my life. I learned a lesson from almost all of them, which I dont care to revisit.

Hopalong:
I feel happy knowing someone else is helped by that moment.

I've got it bookmarked...lost count of the mornings when it just infused my grieving heart with courage again.

(I also get such a kick out of the rhythms, and the buildup...like his little skippy-step when he says, "It's not that
I'm hateful [skip-step}..it's that I'm faithful [skip-step]...) Makes me smile. He's masterful!

(I also like, "Don't worry about my [hoarse] voice, ain't nothing wrong with my HEAD!"  :lol:)

It's not a theology nor a worship style I'm part of, but this little segment is so meaningful to me!

xxoo
Hops

I really liked this poem, and so I'm bumping it back onto the current board: )
