sincerely try to help another
without helping himself -

let’s start with what we
already have

“let go”

“It was like I had been chasing after something and suddenly
I just stopped and looked around me. I stopped inside and my
mind became peaceful and clear. We don’t know what it means
to let go … to discover that nothing is permeant and we invent
numerous beliefs to protect us from the fear of letting go. We
are frightened of letting go because we have postponed it. I
believe that only through that act will my mind be free and able
to experience what true freedom is”
- Marc Foster Screen Writer , Director “The Kite Runner”
