Let It Be

Transcript

Let’s talk about letting it be. I was thinking about the song let it be.

Apparently what happened is Paul McCartney had a dream of his mother many years after she passed and she left a message. He couldn’t remember the exact message but Mother Mary said “let it be” in his hour of darkness.

Which meaning in the hour of rest but also during his dark night of the soul wondering what’s going on in the world and facing existential confusion, crisis and terror.

Not knowing what this all means and not being sure if it means anything at all.

What’s going on within you?

Once again I ask, what’s going on within me?

I know there might be a little self doubt or worry or confusion or conflict. Ambivalence, uncertainty.

Certainly there is uncertainty.

All sorts of things might be going on in your heart and in your belly. Maybe at the base of that there is nothing, just peace and space for you.

Let it be.

All of it, all of these things cascading down, each one. Fear the dread the doubt even the happiness, let it be, let it be a part of you just as you are a part of the universe. A part of this greater process.

Allow yourself to exist in this moment as you are just as it says in the song. There will be an answer, it won’t come right away.

We don’t necessarily know what this all means and in this moment we don’t have to.

Let it be, let it be, let it be.

I can’t quite capture the melody but I captured the essence.

Let it be.

Thank you for allowing yourself to exist, for allowing every aspect of yourself even though you might have your judgements about it. Thank you for allowing your judgement to exist and your resistance to those darker parts of yourself. Perhaps parts you wish not to see.

Thank you for allowing it to be.
