Let Go

I look at the trees in their steadfast silence and peace,

     in tune with the seasons and the natural cycles of the earth,

they have embraced change.

Pulled all the juicy nutrients of their year from their leaves

     all of the experiences whether sunshine or storm,

     and then, simply,

                     Let Go.

Shred the past moment,

                     to be Here,

                          Ever Present.

                                  My Teachers.
