"This act of total surrender is not merely a fantastic intellectual and mystical gamble; it is something much more serious. It is an act of love for this unseen person, who, in the very gift of love by which we surrender ourselves to his reality also makes his presence known to us." ~ Thomas Merton
We often speak to forgiveness as a key to true peace and it is. However, I am beginning to realize that surrender, a word with negative connotation, is at the root of it all. Total, unconditional surrender to ‘What Is’. And, then, joyful curiosity of what shows up next in my life. Whatever shows up is always, always FOR me. Are you having fun yet?
