The medicine of surrender is
giving up the idea of what might have been
and accepting what was, what is,
while leaving the door of the heart open,
with acceptance, for what might yet be.
It means recognizing,
possibly a little too late,
that while we thought
we were driving the boat,
instead, it was taking us on
a most unexpected journey,
one of surprise and amazement
at where we landed up,
yet knowing,
in the end, it is exactly where
we are meant to be.
The medicine of surrender
means weeding out what does not
serve our souls
and following our heart's true instinct,
which will inevitably return us
to our authentic selves,
and take us home.

Sherry, your poem is full of wisdom - medicine surrender letting go of what no longer serves for our greater good - is sound advice but, us humans we often are slow learners.
ReplyDeleteI like this, Sherry. A wonderful message to contemplate. So often our journey takes us just where we were supposed to be!
