SURRENDER…

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…
