We let go of 3 truckloads of things out of the barn and dye shed in the last few days and today the dumpster comes. We are definitely “letting go” \u2014 of belongings and of pent-up angst, even of beloved kitties. When this poem by e.e. cummings came into my mail box this morning, it seemed worthy of sharing and re-reading. Here is to letting go \u2026<\/p>\n
let it go – the
\nsmashed word broken
\nopen vow or
\nthe oath cracked length
\nwise – let it go it
\nwas sworn to
\ngo<\/p>\n
let them go – the
\ntruthful liars and
\nthe false fair friends
\nand the boths and
\nneithers – you must let them go they
\nwere born
\nto go<\/p>\n
let all go – the
\nbig small middling
\ntall bigger really
\nthe biggest and all
\nthings – let all go
\ndear<\/p>\n
so comes love<\/p>\n
