Why You Can’t Let Go

Bymanager

“Let go” is probably the most annoying and inaccurate thing a person can ever say to you.  I’m equally irked when a masseuse whispers “relax” as I’m lying prone on his/her table.

Lady, if I knew how to relax, I wouldn’t need a MASSAGE.

If we knew how to let go, we wouldn’t need a spiritual practice.

our immunity toward violence + a step towards peace

I sat across from my father, an early Christmas stopover before heading West for work.

“This would never happen in Europe.  What is wrong with this country?”

He was speaking of course, of the atrocious massacre at Sandy Hook last week.  Its horror stunned the nation.  My father, having been born and spent a large portion of his life in Europe, was a man who barely watched television.  Never when we were growing up.  He adored art and culture and would have no idea who the Kardashians are, were someone to mention their name(s.)

He was right: this would never happen in Europe.  What is wrong with us?
