Letting go is an act of agreement with life; it is an accord on our part with what the present moment is telling us about ourselves as it unfolds before us — and within us — asking us what it does. And what is it that life asks of us moment to moment?

It’s simple, really. Life is always asking… Will you be a witness to my story? Will you let go of your moment in the sun of passing circumstances in order to realize that just behind it dwells a Life whose Light never fades?

Will you choose in favor of entering into a Life whose story never ends, and in which fear, failure, and falling simply do not exist?

And if we wish to answer in the affirmative to these questions, then we must realize one essential truth: whatever we see taking place before us in our life — for its joy or sorrow — need no longer be accidental.
