Meditation

provides a way of learning

how to let go.

As we sit,
.
.
the self we’ve been trying to construct
.
.
and make into a nice,
.
neat package
.

continues to unravel.

The self (“I”) is constructed from how we visualize us, how others treat us and from past memories rolled into a functioning identity.
.
.
Let go of that judgment, of that storyline and the self dissolves momentarily.
