What are you grasping at?

Let go.
I can’t.
Let go!
I said I can’t
What are you grasping at?
I don’t know.
Then let go.
It’s not that easy.
Yes it is.
Then help me.
I can’t.
Why not?
Cause only you can let go.
But it’s hard.
Only the thought of it is hard.
Why is it so hard?
Because you’re attached.
SO, what’s wrong with being attached?
Attachment causes you to suffer.
But I don’t want to suffer.
Then let go.
But it took me so long to grow.
It’s only hair.

Funny the things that we become attached to.
How the attachment can cause us suffering.
How we know the cure to our suffering.
Yet we continue to grasp.

May we all learn to truly let go.

Metta to you and yours.

Beautiful in its’ simplicity. I’m glad you still have your hair. Hubby always gets the silent treatment for a day or so when he gets his haircut!
