Letting Go Monday, August 21, 2006

Two monks were journeying home when they came to the banks of a fast flowing river, where they met a young woman unable to cross the current alone. One of the monks picked her up in his arms and set her safely on her feet on the other side and the two monks continued on their journey. After a few hours the monk who had crossed the river alone could finally restrain himself no longer and began to rebuke his brother, Do you know it is against our rules to touch a young woman? You have broken the holy vows. The other monk answered, Brother, I left that young woman on the banks of the river. Are you still carrying her?

Dear Hearts,
In a more modern version of essentially the same story, a psychologist tells about working with a woman who was having a great deal of trouble letting go of her broken marriage. One day, in therapy, the psychologist handed her a brick as a symbol of her old relationship, and then instructed her to carry it around in her purse for the next week. As the week went on, and her purse grew heavier and heavier, the woman began to get a clear understanding of how burdensome the weight of her old attachment had become.
“Most people don’t really need to learn how to let go of things, they just need to learn to recognize when they have already gone.”
~ Suzuki Roshi
So, if you’ve been dragging the bothersome weight of some past event around with you for a while, this may be a great time to lighten the load and just let go. You may discover that old spring returning to your step without the extra weight.
Make it a week of letting go.
Love and blessings,
Rick and Patricia Namaste
