How easily do images of “letting go” come to mind for you? What does it mean to let your life be changed by them rather than by the “letting yourself go” alternatives?

It may be harder to imagine because it comes with fewer readymade scripts.This attitude dissolves the hard distinction between chosen and not chosen.

Letting go does not, counter to appearances, mean stopping bothering with thinking and planning; many who have let go like this over the millennia have observed that itherald havoc. It turns out that when you stop forcing things, better things tend to happen rather than worse. It turns out that responsible actions still happen if you let go of morally caustic notions of responsibility in ways that felt like relaxing into the yes.

Letting go, meanwhile, is not something that we imagine people do accidentally; it must take all those years of full lotus and Warrior Three to get even close, we’re told. It can seem almost irrelevantly implausible that anyone ever really manages it. And so, with the picnic that I ended up making and bringing and eating, we come back to food. As the Buddha discovered, and as every individual with anorexia knows anyway, the mind-body deprived of what it needs can only ever try to get what it’s deprived of, not do any number of other cool things it could do instead in the presence of what it needs.
