Letting Go in the Midst Of

  There is no time to let go because letting go happens right now, in the midst of everything that now is. Whatever difficulty or tension happens to be there, there is no "later time" to resolve it at which point we let go. Letting go is letting things be as they are, and to relax into that being, even if it means sitting between two or three things or not having fully resolved the issues of one's existence. Even this unresolved aspect is exactly where one needs to drop everything and stop trying to make the ends "make sense". It is at this point that one can exist in something that is not temporal. It remains eternal.
  This is good news because it means that the grief that one carries with them related to the unresolved mysteries of life (what am I here for? What is all this for anyway?) can be let go. This does not mean that those issues cease to be real, but that the quest for an object to quell the questions vanishes, and things are seen in their impermanence. There is simply no gain and no loss; nothing is permanent. The quest for a permanent answer starts to vanish and fade away.
    All of this is reminding me to go back to Kierkegaard's writings. Even though he is not Buddhist, I believe that he has a lot to say to this idea of faith in the eternal.
