more often treated with suspicion as a dark place full of dragons..

This is all true, as I have discovered. I also know it is very difficult,
requires great discipline to feel gratitude when fear overtakes one.
Particularly when the fear rises seemingly from nowhere and suddenly.
It has been only in the last few years I've discovered Surrender to be the
action required in my life. Childbirth was the first critical mass moment of
true recognition of that in my life. In an unmedicated birth, the mother
must reach a point of surrender to her body, trust that her body, despite the
sensations, knows exactly what it's doing and it has no dependency on the
mother's ability to believe. Only fear can and does slow the process - fear
of the pain, of the unknown, etc.
I've also learned that Surrender is not an action of diminishment of self,
but rather a choice to allow the greater self and higher powers to come in
and support. Whether that action has a good or bad outcome depends solely on
the value we choose to give the consequences. There lies the balance of
living within the self and living within the world, I think.
Meandering,
Melissa
