Thank You! I have struggled with the idea of letting go, how to define it, and how to really apply it in a practical way in my own life, but somehow that has been difficult to do. I've been trying to learn how to let go of fear, and of wanting something, or someone, or a certain outcome of plans or situations in life. To be able to approach those things with an attitude of letting go of the outcome, and as you have said, open eyes and a truly detached mind - and ultimately confidence, would be incredibly powerful. Your descriptions of how you approach intense situations like free soloing and BASE jumping really speak to me as a model for how it can be done. Thank you for sharing your thoughts so eloquently. BTW, I have to tell you that I really enjoyed your book, and laughed out loud where you said, about poor Philip on Fitzroy, "How could Philip have known? I look so normal." Great reading! I hope you'll continue to write of your further adventures. Thanks again, John Hansville, WA Wow - you’ve just described perfectly the concept and process of Letting Go. Thank You!
