A Natural Surrender


A natural surrender:

it's a natural surrender, being at ease with all that appears and equal grace through letting go. It's simply being at home exactly where we are. Always. This too includes our every reaction and response; that nothing is found as an offence in its expression.

that everything belongs.

there's no method to this, it isn't a practice, and most of all no effort is involved - life is immediate in its welcome and only our minds seem to lag in their acceptance. Yet the present moment is true in its reality, without bias for our concerns. It's just how things are until they are no longer, for however long a situation must remain. 

reality takes no notice of our comfort.

and that's the grace of letting go, of our natural surrender - life is already and always in motion, a constant becoming in the very midst of its destruction. It's Shiva's game at place, continuous, and beyond our understanding. Our only role is of response without self judgement, at ease with life through all its motion. 

surrender happens completely on its own.

what's found is that everything truly does belong and this includes our every wish for change and denial of what's now present. We are always part of this belonging, immediate in our own acceptance - even as we battle what the moment holds.  It's our own natural surrender, our every contradiction simply part of life's expression. To see this is to finally be at ease with who we are; it's an awakening to what's present without need of any explanation. 

it's simply being home.
