your daily rock : let go

July 13, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

I was driving home from the grocery store tonight and glanced down at the tattoo on my right forearm as I turned the car left.

The tattoo includes three questions the Buddha suggested we ask ourselves about our lives:

How well did I love?

How fully did I live?

How deeply did I let go?

For me, they serve as a reminder, a measure, an aspiration to love well, live fully, and let go deeply.

Letting go deeply is difficult, until it isn’t. Then it is pure freedom.

What do you want or need to let go of?

Disencumber. Let go.

Love,
