Losgelassenheit…

A German word which describes the calmness and relaxation of a horse’s motion when it completely trusts its rider.

“Their movement becomes a joyful, fluid dance.”

However, it’s only when the horse lets go and reaches Losgelassenheit that it can produce true greatness.

Perhaps we can learn from the horse and “stop exerting intense effort, choosing to soften our attention, accept whatever’s happening, loosen our judgmental standards, and allow life to flow along its uncertain path…”

“The powers that shape us turn out to be not punishing, condemnatory monsters, but forces that teach us Losgelassenheit, showing us how joyful, graceful, and delightful life can be.” (Source)

Now let’s spring into this holiday weekend with some Losgelassenheit and fish tacos…
