In some way, we have to learn to let go if we are to be able to live freely. And we have the great gift in meditation of being able to let go, at the very centre, of our acquisitiveness and our competitiveness. That’s where we need to let go. One way or another, it is what we have to learn. And in learning it, we learn to see everything differently; what seemed like a prison becomes a school, what seems like alienation becomes relationship.
( Aspects of Love 1 by Laurence Freeman OSB )
