Orange Moon
Waning, waning, letting go;
Orange moon outside aglow.
The tendency to hold on can be great, but it is not in holding on that we find our freedom. To make space for new things, all we have to do is take a breath, and then let go.

You have it so right my friend, but I would like to add that we can find more liberation by the gentle realisation that much of what we hold dear is not really needed. The attachment to new things is something we must be careful of, it can lead to much suffering.
When letting go there is a sweet spot, we must be careful that we don’t wind up having to let go of wanting to let go.
Namaste,
Rich.

Gentle is the operative word there Rich. I find it such a useful way to describe things… gently relax, gently let go, gently open…. try to force any of these things and they cannot be done!
