Learning to Fall - Philip Simmons

life is the story of a pernennial soul fastened to a dying animal.

life is not a problem but a mystery
and letting go is the first lesson of the mystery
I let go of the rope - I let go of the control of my life - no longer where I wanted to go.
letting go we open ourselves to Grace.
to the further shore where there is the eternal
weopen ourselves to wonder , the threshold of eternal life.

falling is a birth right
we all fall into Death
only letting go can we gain freedom
