Surrender

To surrender is to gather. We gather love, build a foundation of trust and let go. It doesn’t have to be giving up—failing our hands in the air—a white flag surrender. It can be done with lightness and ease.

We are never in free-fall. We are tethered to the divinity of the universe. She reveals herself everyday through people, situations and the simplicity of all that is.

Hear the birds?
They are singing for you to hear.
See the brightness of a young child’s eyes as they connect with yours?
Spirit to spirit he sees you and honors the beauty within you.
Taste the love and generosity in the meal you eat?
Sustenance brought by many hands and hearts to fill you.
Feel the pounding ocean wave crash into your chest?
Mother Nature reminding you of power in the present moment.

Surround yourself in love.
Gather together, there is no separation.
Trust shapeshifts into faith.

Gently, what you are holding onto slips between your fingers…
And seemingly,
Without effort,
You fall into grace.

    Wow! I’ve read this several times, and it touches me deeply. Tears well, and softly flow. There’s always a profound wisdom that comes through in your writing. It’s never forceful though it can, and usually does, foster a space to do emotional work. Ultimately, I am left with the feeling of joy. Thank you for sharing your brilliance, Nicole.
