Let it go….

Grasping is the source of all our problems.

Since impermanence to us spells anguish.

We grasp on to things desperately, even though all things change.

We are terrified of letting go, terrified; in fact, of living at all, since learning to live is learning to let go.

And this is the tragedy and the irony of our struggle to hold on:

Not only is it impossible, but it brings us the very pain

We are seeking to avoid
