I read somewhere the other day that, “you must surrender your mind to your heart,” and that “surrender is like a river.” The river keeps flowing until it reaches the ocean where it totally surrenders. It no longer exists. It becomes one with. I find this to be a very interesting and meaningful way of looking at life and, although I never quite understood it before in that context, its part of my attraction and my desire to live by moving water. When I’m there, I literally feel myself transform. I come alive. I feel connected. I feel full of energy and vibrant inside. It’s like plugging me into an electrical outlet that boosts my power that makes my light shine twice as bright.
I picked a card out of the Power Animal Deck this morning and I got the Dove which is about Serenity. It talks about slowing down, the need to pause and to breathe. Serenity goes well with surrender. Once I am able to surrender I find serenity and once I find serenity, what to do or what not to do becomes more evident to me. Centering myself within this space is the part I need to do more often.
A cabin by a creek for sale. Anyone?

Where is this photo taken, Annette? It looks like a wonderful, peaceful place.
Yes!! I want to be there, in that cabin, by that creek, surrendering and serene. Makes me feel calm just to look at this picture!
I like your thoughts here. What were you reading that brought you this contemplation? I might like to read it, too.
Hi Kate and Paula, thanks for dropping by. The picture is one I pulled from the internet and I chose it because it is almost identical to the cabin on the coast where I went to do a private retreat with a client. It was heavenly.
What I was reading was a passage out of a book that Andree is reading called: The Truth Is by Sri Poonja. It's along the lines of Science of Mind.
