I love this poem! Letting go is a deeply intimate act that occurs only in one's own heart, not in another's - an event so momentous yet quietly accomplished, unaccompanied by outer fanfare or recognition by others. As Clarissa Pinkola Estes has pointed out in the poem, it isn't as simple as "just let go." It is not just letting go of what we are holding on to that needs to be let go... as if it is an object we hold in our hand. it goes deeper. Letting go involves a peeling off, a stripping away of who we thought we were - and in t his peeling away we discover within us something so intensely real and vibrant, something that goes beyond any definition that can be used to nail down who we are. In this way what has been hitherto only a mystery is revealed to us. The painting by Helene Knoop is incredibly moving. Looking at the woman with her eyes closed I feel she is deeply connecting with the essence of being, the inner stillness within. In this recognition we also connect with our own inner stillness. Thank you Emma for such an absolutely beautiful and moving post!Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209551489584694322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010494928772077300.post-87394333432387591752014-04-27T19:42:11.907+02:002014-04-27T19:42:11.907+02:00... meer dan woorden, lieve vriendin! ♥... meer dan woorden, lieve vriendin! ♥Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344595922514131573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010494928772077300.post-10697130478625339502014-04-27T18:47:43.321+02:002014-04-27T18:47:43.321+02:00♥♥♥♥♥♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
