And yes, it's a paradox. The thing I'm learning is that this kind of surrender isn't about giving up, it's about reaching for... it's not a passive choice at all, it's incredibly terrifyingly excitingly <em>active</em>. And always an adventure. Glad you both like it.

All that passion, ambition and hard work to get to surrender is hard to get your head around.

But I feel like I have come home. I surrender. It’s a paradox, isn’t it? All that passion, ambition and hard work to get to surrender is hard to get your head around.
