and what I have been practicing lately is the concept of true surrender.

My entire life I always believed that I had to hold onto something (a concept, an idea, a belief) in order to be "fully who I really am". I thought that this gave me power. I thought that this made me strong.

But what it really did was make me separate. The holding on covered deep feelings of inadequacy. A fear that if I was fully felt I would lose myself. That if I fully felt another, I would be hurt.

But in end the holding onto my box of beliefs about who I am resulted in just that anyway.

Now I am beginning to explore what it would be like to give it up. To stand in that moment and give up whatever it is that you hold dear (my favorite watch so-to-speak). And to do it without question, without protest, without excuses or expression.

just a thought....
