"Would that I could learn how not to hold on.
Would that I learn to be flotsam and jetsam."
I confess, I do hold on...I hold on to what I believe in.
Perhaps I should say what I want to believe in?
I guess we all do, don't we?
Being born a human, it seems this is destiny.
A tree has capabilities we don't possess.
Our ability to think thoughts and act on them
gives us capabilites different than the tree's, right?
So as alluring as it seems, to let go like the petals...
discernment is called for...
it's a balancing act.
May I continue to hold on to dignity,
truth, justice, fairness, equity and decency.
And may I let go of my attachment
to how I want things to play out
in accordance with my wishes.
May I hold onto what I value...
love above all else;
even as I become flotsam and jetsam.
Namaste'
