Hi Susan J,
so sorry for not replying to your generous review... I haven't been active on sit for a few months now... well actually most of this year...but that in itself is a long story, so I won't bore you with details.
And yes, the letting go part can dredge up many different emotions... but the only way forward is striving for that inner peace that allows the calming waters of flow.
Much appreciated for digging through my portfolio for something to review... thank you!
With our thoughts we create,
the release of resistance.
James vx's.

Still trying to play catch up from my time away. Will be back for real in a couple of weeks ... I hope.
Love to Jade and you.

Hi Sonali,
thanks for going back in to my portfolio and dragging this out poem to review... no need, but a big sincere thank you for doing so.
Hope you are regaining yourself and having times of happier memories.
Unfortunately, I have taken a turn for the worse... everything was going along pretty well considering... don't want to bore you with the details... still at the 'chasing my tail' stage, but I'm hoping to settle down to get my head back to where it needs to be. Can't spend much time sitting, lying or standing, and unfortunately I have to do all at some point in time... smile))))))))))).
Love back to David and you my dear friend... and thank you for the additive to enhance my notes.

a focused mindset,

The only difference between a stumbling block and a stepping stone is the character of the individual placing the stones.
Nicely done, Jumbo J....

Comment from Autumn Splendour
I love your Tanka poem, for its succinct yet profound message and spiritual overtone. Yes, we all need the inner peace that surpasses all understanding and this can be achieved if we let go of all resistance to it. Brilliant.

Intriguing piece of writing.
You have managed to say a lot
in a few number of words.
"An unconditional gift, the silence of inner peace..."

Hi Brett,
review generic and the same i have witnessed on other writers reviews... my suggestion... be authentic and stop the cut and paste reviews... they don't help me or you. Yes it is the appropriate word count to receive your members dollars, but it cheapens the review and therefore is totally useless. I feel you have a lot more to offer all of the writers you review, than this brand of response.
In saying that, i still thank you for your time... be well and be real.

Comment from Maritza M. Mejia
What a nice way to teach how to let go. Hard part of life, but lovely way to express it in a five line Tanka poem.
My favorite part is the last line that brings to a conclusion the magic of let go!
Thank you for sharing!

"Letting go", is an extremely well-written piece. Short, succinct and very much to the point. Inner peace is what we all seek. It was a pleasure to review a work of this calibre.
