Oh Great Spirit,
Spirit of Life,
I surrender to You.

I have often taken surrender to be giving up, quitting, or falling into apathy. But real surrender involves surrendering to Life, and far from being kicked around by the fickle whims of fate, it is actually about surrendering our sense of separation, and living as a part of Life itself. So each time you have any doubts about the value of surrendering, remember that the thing you are surrendering doesn’t have any real value.
