Holding On, Letting Go
Welcoming In: A Personal Reflection
You have but the right to perform action;
You have no hold on the results thereof.
May you not seek the rewards of action and may you never engage in wrong action
(this is not an excuse for inaction!)
There are only two feelings. Love and fear.
There are only two languages. Love and fear.
There are only two activities. Love and fear.
There are only two motives, two procedures,
two frameworks, two results. Love and fear.
Love and fear.
Dear God,
We loosen our grip.
We open our hand.
We are accepting.
In our empty hand
We feel the shape
Of simple eternity.
It nestles there.
We hold it gently.
We are accepting.
Amen.
