Throughout the course of time
The leaves wither and the land changes
But what is left unchanged is the will of men
That is to reach to the very top
For a swordsman it is the perfection of the sword
But what then is the mark of Zenith?
Some claim that it is the ability to withstand the course of time
To experience and to be able to wield it till the end of time without getting bored?
Could it also sum up to being greater than others?
Or is it to be one with the sword?
To me, it’s simply being able to put down the sword.
How simple and yet difficult this is?
What irony it is to pick up the sword and release your grip over it later
But there are things that are beyond our control
It’s the way our souls resonate, this compelling feeling is beyond what words can express
The cycle of life states that with death comes life
With happiness comes sorrow
And too, with confusion comes enlightenment
Is it really the job of time to heal all wounds?
I think otherwise, it is simply how long one takes to get enlightened
[Certain events do not have a happy ending, because it doesn’t have an ending to begin with. Letting go is just a phase within the never-ending cycle]
Below are 2 quotes that I love a lot with regards to the topic “Letting Go”
You never leave someone behind, you take a part of them with you and leave a part of yourself behind. – Unknown author
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. - Lao Tzu
Amazingly while looking into the topic about “Letting Go”, I came across a prayer also known as Reinhold Niebuhr's Prayer of Serenity
God, grant me serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardships as a pathway to peace
taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it,
trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will.
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You forever
in the next.
Amen
