Detachment

Detachment

Like a leaf letting go

of a twig

on a branch

of a tree

from spreading roots

floating down

to a pond

to rest on the surface

to re-compose into silt

to settle or wash away

providing nourishment for roots of trees

that grow and sprout

branches

twigs

leaves

Detaching

with love

with understanding

with acceptance

with curiosity

offers opportunity

for drift

for travel

for growth

for restructuring

For each other.

"As human beings, out greatness lies not so much in 

being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the 

 - 'atomic age' - as in being able to remake ourselves."

- Gandhi
