The Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849)
CHAPTER 2, LETTING GO OF LOSS (ebook excerpt):
Someone you loved is gone.
Something you needed is no longer there.
Somehow your heroic commitment has faded into failure.
Now the foundations of your existence lie crumpled beneath you.
Yet you surrendered solutions long ago and your answer ahead seems impossible to fathom.
So what remains?
Today, there is nothing and no-one.
There is only you.
Out of pain and disillusionment you admit all you once cherished is indeed lost.
Faced with emptiness, what you can do is breathe into the space of your untapped courage.
You discover that in grasping nothingness you become free to embrace everything.
And everything in turn is free to embrace you.
You are letting go of loss.
