Most of us think of surrender in negative terms. It’s associated with loss, loss of sovereignty, loss of control, loss of the goal we were striving for, possibly loss of dignity, loss of self-esteem. Surrender is something we see mostly in terms of conflict: war, politics, rivalries, and business. People try to dress is up…
“Everything happens for a reason” Well, that’s a lovely thought and I know it has really helped people through horrific times. Unfortunately I find, over and over again, that it isn’t the truth. I look in people’s soul books seeking an answer for why this or that happened, what the person is meant to learn…
There is so much wisdom stored up in each one of us. I’m amazed by how much comes forth from the most average looking person in a random setting during a seemingly normal activity. We’re all professors of life full of enlightenment who spend most of our lives refusing to talk with ourselves about it…

It doesn’t matter how much it’s for our own good, how much good it does us and those around us, sometimes we just need to break free of the routine. Most people complain about the routine when it’s rubbing them the wrong way. When it’s strangling them, keeping them from being who they want to…

Where her voice has endlessly demanded her to go. This room which reveals her. Where she is clumsy again. Where she is awkward in her grown-up clothing. …
