This term has always held such a negative connotation to me…
HOW could I possibly GIVE IN???
WHY would I ever GIVE UP???
I MUST continue to press forward, at all costs, protect myself , stay strong..build my muscles move..move..move…
ALWAYS. KEEP. MOVING..
But I’ve actually “moved” so much, that now I literally cannot “move” at the speed to which I am accustomed.
Enduring what is likely an overuse injury from an exorbitant amount of running, I …CANNOT RUN…
GASP….
Its almost ironical…that I spent so much time RUNNING..away…from all the problem-os that plagued me ..and now..I literally CANNOT run…
The mere thought of this possibility typically would have sent me into a feverish panic…
However, the reality has been…
Enlightening.
And quite possibly even a tad liberating.
Having to operate at an …ahem…”normocephalic” pace…has been both humbling..and healing….
I guess this is my FORCED SURRENDER.
And after a rather uncomfortable…but necessary, YIN yoga class this afternoon, I learned the necessity..and utility…of SURRENDER…
And I hope that YOU too, my dear friend, and reader… will be able to find the necessary SURRENDER in your life…
Until next time…
