Letting Go: People, Places, and Things

by

Edward C. Paolella

"For in craving pleasure and in nursing pain

There is only sorrow"

Dhammapada (The Path to Eternal Truth)

Buddha

("The Enlightened or Awakened One")

(563 BCE-483 BCE)

Letting go ain't easy.

It's warmer than piss,

And thicker than shit.

It's downright sleasy.

Since 'tis done without a kiss,

It's very, very greasy.
