The word surrender has an allure to it, like breath on the wind.  Its meaning provides a certain peace once it is absorbed throughout the body. As the insistence of control is relinquished, life falls into place as steadily as the beat of a drum.  There is peace, calm, quiet, breath- and the key to the best outcome for the moment reveals itself.  Surrendering is not a giving up of self.  It is a clarity of heart to know when to release a hold on something that was not in your power to control.
