The Art Of Surrender
~*Marge Tindal*~

The fine art of surrender
in a moment so tender
losing nothing ... gaining all~

Giving all ... yet maintaining
the very portrait of self
Easier than one might suppose
Surrender of vainglorious thoughts
in the gifting to another's heart~

The art of surrender
in a moment so tender~

~*~

vainglory VAYN-glor-ee, vayn-GLOR-ee, noun
vainglorious -adjective
1. Excessive pride in one's achievements,
abilities, qualities, etc.
2. Vain display.

~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram

Surrender...is that where you hold up the white flag thing???

I need to work on that, I have a hard time backing down sometimes...husband says I am stubborn as a mule.

To surrender would be much less exhausting sometimes I beleive.  I do, I do...hehe

Great write Marge!  Made this lady think!

MArge, I always so enjoy reading your writes.They flow smooth, the imagery or path you take me down is always wonderful to see, and you teach me things in your writes that sometimes I close my eyes to.Surrendering isn't easy but we all have our time when it needs to be.
