The Wisdom of Letting Be

by Javier Cacares

There's a quiet wisdom

in learning to let things be,

to release the urge to mold and reshape

what's meant to grow on its own.

It's finding peace in the unknown,

allowing life to unfold as it will,

knowing that wisdom isn’t always action

but sometimes simply the grace

to let things rest as they are.

It's in the patience to watch a river flow,

understanding it knows its own way,

that guiding it would only disturb

its natural course and rhythm.
