letting go




above are more pictures that I like of our kids at Omega Institute.
I like the words below.....it reminds me to let go and not hang onto stuff that I can't control anyway.
have a great day.
love,
Michele




What worked yesterday doesn't work today-and what works tomorrow may not work today. Just being present here, just being right here, right now means that you leave the past and you leave the future.

This can be painful. Being present, you let go of the ideas that you have about your children when they're not the way you want them to be. Life itself is one big preparation for the big let-go at the end. As you age and as you grow, you've also got to let go of your parents. and, too, there's your self-image you have to let go of -like your ability to get out of bed...and stand up straight, without that pain in your lower back. Then, finally we've got to let go of it all into this mystery that we've had these glimpses of. It's pretty clear nobody gets out alive.

so, what do you do in the meantime? You get ready and then you catch these glimpses of where you've already let go of everything-and then death itself isn't as scary anymore. Being present, you act more in the accordance with the spontaneity of the universe, God, or self.
