Letting Go

Lsltn: letting go

This term is lately  

everywhere

around me,

it is surrounding us.
 

Letting go is hot. 

(Before we had the  

Celestine Prophecy
and the child within 

or inner child)

 
You have to, like to,  

want to, learn to let go.
 

While releasing really  

should not  

have to deal with 

pressure.

It would be  

a reaction to materialism
and striving for  

progress & development  

of the past decades.
 

A counterweight  

to our consumption society  

and social media.
 

Investigate further.
 

I think it's really more like
an extra scoop on top.

 

We have everything so now
we want something spiritual.
 

Mindfulness.
 

There's nothing wrong with it,  

good fundamentals and  

scientifically proven 

to be effective.
 

But I do not like it when
it evolves into a hype  

and it is becoming 

everyone's hobby.

You have to be Zen.
 

Wise and enlightened,
inner peace.

It should be all about
not having to be perfect
but it seems  

you're only perfect
if your Zen, and Mindful
and can let go.

The Chinese philosopher
Lao Tse (Laozi)
has made ​​

many wise sayings

one of them is:

"True virtue is not virtuous".

I think that to be 

Zen and enlightened
is something  

that is reserved
for people who can 

really let go
Monks and truly  

wise people
who have renounced  

all the earthly  

and material goods.

(Dat is andere koek)

That is a different story.
