let it go

When the mind wants to break its link with the world

It still holds on to one thing

                                Kabir (quoted by J Kornfield, A Path With Heart, p. 104)

“Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

                                Jesus (Mark 10)

If we would be

people of the Spirit

we must leave all behind and

follow

I don’t believe Sacred

wants us to be miserable

I just think there are so many things

that cause us lose our original connection

these are the things we can’t let go of!

thus we are called to release

anything we are too attached to

anything more important that the Sacred

anything that blinds us to the way of the Sacred

anything that hurts us

anything that causes us to hurt others  (for some the hate of Muslims or the idea that we can love God by hating others)

anything that keeps us from seeing things and addressing things that really need to be seen and addressed (denial)

we might even need to let go (I know I do)

of our belief that we are “not enough”

all those thoughts of being deficit, worthless, ruined, hopeless

“what is left?” you might ask

everything
