“And then comes a time, a situation, when we can’t keep fighting, either because it’s too painful, or because we finally know at heart that it’s futile.
Surrender happens when we know that we don’t know. It arrives when we know that we cannot think or see our way through where we are. We don't have the answers. In true surrender, we don’t know if what’s to come will be better or worse, more comfortable or more awful. All we know is that we can’t do it this way, the way we've been doing it, a moment longer.
In this moment of surrender or grateful defeat, there's clarity.
Then, having tasted surrender, we can relax and trust—and know that it’s safe to let go.”
