Surrender

“What strange beings we are! That sitting in Hell at the bottom of the dark, we are afraid of our own immortality!” - Rumi

So much as I seek to remain in the flesh to experience the elevated energies of higher consciousness, there are times I still question the outcome of this quest. Where will it lead? Will it work out just as I and so many envision it, or will it hasten the shedding of this skin and departure from earth? If so, who will be left behind? There are so many people we love - we don't want to be apart...
Once again, the lingering shadow of attachment and separation is revealed. Having made an appearance disguised in a thought - a thought with the power to spark fear. But fear can only hurt us when we've forgotten that we chart our own course...this includes, perhaps, our own passing.
There is no higher choice than surrender - dismissing dark visitors, like fear and doubt. Then we can redirect those thoughts that led to the encounter and recenter on our highest vision.
No matter how much wisdom we embrace on this journey, questions will appear to test our resolve. These questions are great teachers.
Having no fear leads to triumph; exactly what triumph awaits, may not be ours to behold. But when we persevere, keeping our head in the clouds and feet planted in the fertile soil of love, only goodness can grow.
