Let it Go by ee cummings

Exquisite poem, maybe you all know it? Hope it helps someone here today:

“let it go -- the
smashed word broken
open vow or
the oath cracked length
wise -- let it go it
was sworn to
go

let them go -- the
truthful liars and
the false fair friends
and the boths and
neithers -- you must let them go they
were born
to go

let all go -- the
big small middling
tall bigger really
the biggest and all
things -- let all go
dear
so comes love”

Spider queen, this is lovely. It definity speaks to me today. Having some struggles in the letting go, even amidst knowing how tight letting go is. Thank you so much for sharing.

Oh my that's a good one.

I think letting go is the top number one hardest thing for me.

The belief, in my frightened core, is that i will be left with emptiness...total, eternal, threatening, overwhelming, annihilating.

I don't know how to get calm about it.
