We need a way to continue to let go

If we want to be free it must be the only thing worth wanting because it is the only thing that cannot be taken away from us. Freedom so often comes to people when it would seem that they are most unfree, most committed, most caught up or involved. But we need a way to continue to let go; not just to let go once, but to continue letting go and to make sure that we do not start clinging as soon as we begin to fear the dizziness of the peaks of freedom. That is why we need a way, a practice. That is why we need to meditate.
