Tarot Card of the Day : Letting Go
In existence there is nobody who is superior and nobody who is inferior. The blade of grass and the great star are absolutely equal.... But man wants to be higher than others, he wants to conquer nature, hence he has to fight continuously. All complexity arises out of this fight. The innocent person is one who has renounced fighting; who is no longer interested in being higher, who is no longer interested in performing, in proving that he is someone special; who has become like a rose flower or like a dewdrop on the lotus leaf; who has become part of this infinity; who has melted, merged and become one with the ocean and is just a wave; who has no idea of the "I". The disappearance of the ''I" is innocence.
- Osho The White Lotus Chapter 6
Commentary:
In this image of lotus leaves in the early morning, we can see in the rippling of the water that one drop has just fallen. It is a precious moment, and one that is full of poignancy. In surrendering to gravity and slipping off the leaf, the drop loses its previous identity and joins the vastness of the water below. We can imagine that it must have trembled before it fell, just on the edge between the known and the unknowable. To choose this card is a recognition that something is finished, something is completing. Whatever it is--a job, a relationship, a home you have loved, anything that might have helped you to define who you are--it is time to let go of it, allowing any sadness but not trying to hold on. Something greater is awaiting you, new dimensions are there to be discovered. You are past the point of no return now, and gravity is doing its work. Go with it--it represents liberation.

Liberation and letting go is a mighty fine idea. But it's not always about letting go of something that's finished.
Sometimes at the beginning of something, say a relationship, it's also good to let go of all our hang-ups in order to start with fresh eyes and no pre-conceptions. I'm trying so hard to do this, but no innocent am I.
Wahh, look at the mood you caught me on a Friday morning. Weekend come now, quick! ;)
kenny :) liberation is what u and i need now.. the only thing to free this knot tied around our hearts...
