“We try to hold on to fleeting pleasures and avoid discomfort in a world where everything is always changing.”

How much of our exhaustion comes from trying to control what’s uncontrollable? We tighten our grip, thinking we can protect ourselves from pain. But the truth is—life moves with or without our permission.

Letting go isn’t giving up; it’s remembering that peace doesn’t come from control, it comes from trust.

Reflection:
Where might you soften your grip today and allow life to unfold on its own terms?

Part of our November theme: “Let It Be – The Power and Freedom of Disentanglement.”

11/08/2025

There’s a quiet power in those three words.

Letting things be isn’t resignation—it’s the deepest form of trust. It’s what allows us to loosen the grip of control and return to the simplicity of presence. When we stop trying to fix, manage, or manipulate what’s unfolding, something remarkable happens: the heart softens, the breath steadies, and wisdom has room to speak. It doesn’t happen automatically. At first when it seems as if the ground falls out from beneath us, we can get caught up in there drama. It takes time to find the way back. And, we need practice.
Silent retreat teaches this so vividly. In silence, we see how much of our suffering comes from trying to make life different than it is. We meet ourselves in raw, honest ways. The urge to fix or control begins to dissolve, revealing a deeper peace—the peace that comes from allowing things to be as they are.

This practice of letting it be isn’t passive. It’s alive with awareness, compassion, and courage. It invites us to trust the unfolding of each moment, to meet life as it is, and to discover freedom right here, even in uncertainty.

Throughout November, I’ll be sharing reflections inspired by Pema Chödrön’s Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change, exploring how disentanglement opens the heart and steadies the mind. Together, we’ll practice the power of “just this”—learning to rest, breathe, and allow life to unfold in its own rhythm.

Reflection:
Where in your life can you practice letting things be—without fixing, improving, or controlling—simply allowing space for what’s already here?

We cling to what we want to last. We push away what we don’t want to feel. But this moment—like all moments—is already changing.

The Second Noble Truth teaches that suffering arises when we grasp at permanence in a world that is constantly in motion. This truth can be painful, but it also opens the door to freedom. When we soften instead of harden, grieve without identifying, and stay present with what is—we begin to unarm the heart.

⸻

💭 Reflection Prompt:
What are you clinging to that may no longer serve you?
What might happen if you gently released your grip?

⸻

🧘 Practice:
Close your eyes. Breathe into your heart.
Silently say:
This too is impermanent.
May I meet this moment with presence, not resistance.
