I'm in a dance with surrender. What I have learned to be true is that risk, courage and vulnerability are intricately intertwined and that all are possible only through surrender. By surrender I don't mean weakness, and I certainly don't mean handing yourself over to another person. On the contrary, this surrender calls to the relationship between you and your God/Goddess/Great Spirit.

 

Ultimately, surrender yields strength. It's the whisper of our intuition, the beginning of our prayer. Above all surrender is trust. Letting go of expectations and outcome in order to allow Spirit to work divinely on our behalf. And, as always, paying attention.
