CHOICE AND LETTING GO

In our ordinary life situation, we have to open ourselves and investigate 
and see and then make a commitment. Without choice, there would be no leap 
and no moment of letting go at all. Because of choice, there is a moment of 
leap, and letting go happens. So it seems that it is not particularly 
comforting and blissful and easy. On the other hand it could be inspiring.
