Letting go is your biggest thrill
and your biggest fear
and every time you do it,
it is spectacular.
There’s no such thing
as an orgasm not worth having.
(Letting go is literal, but also metaphoric.)
You cannot deny
that you are drawn to letting go
and watching others let go.
Careers. Possessions.
Reputations. Inhibitions. Lives.
You wonder what it’s like to REALLY let go.
To completely
utterly
ridiculously
deliciously
release
all those energies
and formations
that seem to be you.
To return to the One
from whence and for whom you come.
To let go.
