ungrasping
Letting things go
Ungrasping describes someone who doesn't clutch at things—possessions, power, credit, or other people.
The word suggests an open-handed generosity of spirit, a willingness to let go rather than hold tight: She had an ungrasping nature that made her easy to be around.
The opposite of grasping or acquisitive.
