Just by letting go

I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.
--Wendell Berry

Blessed are all birds and animals, the wildest beasts, and, yes, all serpents, too, for they live in nature, in a state of natural grace. They live beyond the rules of evil and good. Their instincts are obedient only to the laws of survival, growth, and health. And as their lives unfurl in obedience to these laws, they suffer no shame, regret, or sin. Nor do they curse their failures, or themselves.

We can learn much from them. They harbor no evil toward one another, and they trust their own inner sense of how to live, and that their Higher Power makes sure everything which befalls them is for the best. Yes, they are blessed, and so are we, the highest animal.

What guilt can I free myself from today, just by letting go?

What guilt can I free myself from today, just by letting go?

All guilt, really. If I make my amends sincerely, right my wrongs where I can, forgive myself and let go, then all that is left are a few regrets and some good lessons.
