Letting Go

Now and then I find myself learning to let go
to turn within
to settle into an easier presence.

Unreliant on another
unattached
independent, self sufficient
free.

My assumption is that I will loosen up
lighten up
perhaps to the point of floating
someday.

But instead
this centered, settled ease

leads me deeper
nestled, rooted, focused
comforted

connected.

Beyond the beginning
to the realm of pure existence
to the place of calm assurance
to the strong and steady, gentle current
of all enduring love.
