Let It All Be

Give up all clinging to love and hate,
Just rest with things as they are.
Do not try to become anything.
Do not make yourself into anything.
Do not be a meditator.
Do not become enlightened.
When you sit, let it be.
When you walk, let it be.
Grasp at nothing.
Resist nothing.
It all comes back to this –
just let it all be.

Step over here where it is cool,
out of the battle.
Why not give it a try.
Do you dare?
