Letting be is a way of living according to which we no longer view things, persons or events in terms of their usefulness but accept them in their autonomy.
We no longer wish to possess or subvert things to our own projects; we wish only to restore things to themselves and persons to their own freedom.
In our lives...we should be witnesses of 'letting be'.
To the extent that we are, we are truly countercultural, for letting be attacks the very roots of a culture hell-bent on possession, productivity, and domination. Donald Buggert (Carmelite Friar)
The buddleia was growing beside a river near Stonehaven - and the butterflies are enjoying their autonomy!
