詩選｜She Let Go

她放手
她放手。連一個念頭或一個字都沒有，她放手了。
她放開恐懼。她放開批判。
她放開腦中糾結盤旋的想法。
她解散了內在猶豫不決的議會。
她放下了所有「對的」理由。
完全而徹底地，毫無猶疑地，放下。

她沒有向誰尋求意見。
她不是看了一本關於放下的書……她也沒有查詢聖經。
她就是放下。

她放下了所有沉重的回憶。
她放下了所有阻礙她前進的焦慮。
她放下了所有怎麼完成的計畫和算計。
她沒有許下承諾要放下。
她沒有把它寫在日記上。
她沒有寫下預定的日期。
她沒有在報紙上刊登廣告昭告天下。
她沒有看天氣預報或每日占星。
她就是放下。

她沒有評估自己應不應該放下。
她沒有打電話給朋友討論一番。
她沒有遵守什麼身心靈療癒五步驟。
她沒有打生命線。
她一語不發。
她就是放下了。

當這發生時沒有其他人在身旁。
沒有人為她鼓掌或祝賀。
沒有人謝謝她或讚美她。
沒有人發現一切有什麼不同。

就像一片葉子離開大樹，她放手了。
她沒有努力也沒有掙扎。
這不是好事也不是壞事。
它就是它所是的，就只是這樣子。

在放下的空間之中，她允許了一切。
一個小小的微笑來到她的臉龐。
一陣輕輕的微風吹拂全身。
太陽和月亮永恆閃耀。

給我們自己一個名為放下的禮物…
你只有一個上師古魯
那就是
你自己。

She Let Go
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of fear. She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely,
without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a
book on how to let go… She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her day-timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analise whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort. There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.
Here’s to giving ourselves the gift of letting go…
There’s only one guru ~ you.
