Letting Go

[uwe.weissflog]

Dear OS friends,
what a challenging topic. There were a lot of things I wanted to write, but -
then I let go of it. Only one little comment (I picked it up in one of Alan
Watts recordings) - when we realize that live is "so of itself" we might have a
chance to see the pain in grasping. There was a reference to the Tao in an
earlier comment, I like to point to this one from the Tao 2 (Mitchell's
translation):

Therefor the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anyting.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgts it.
That is, why it lasts forever.
