Day 9 Sometimes it is harder....
Letting go is a kind act, I believe, to both help ourselves and each other. It is at times difficult for me to let go of a thought, idea, belief, etc.... Buddha spoke of meeting a buddha in the road and running him/her over. Today, I am more aware of how this can affect my happiness as I can become stressed when I do not let go and hold onto feelings of self-righteousness, pain, anger etc. I have read a book entitled Tuesday's with Maury which I highly recommend. It is about a person with ALS, a terminal illness in which a person is unable to move, eat, and eventually has issues breathing. During his months to year of loss, he allowed himself a half hour (I believe) to wallow in self-pity. Sometimes like today, I find it important not to wallow and step out of the river of malcontent. (Overdramatic, I know but like the word usage and symbolism. ) I wish sometimes, I could snap my finger and be all of a sudden enlightened in letting go. Today, I continue the struggle and continue to hope.
