SURRENDER

Let's just let ourselves give up the struggle to fix ourselves, others or this life itself. Sometimes we are trying so hard to improve, to understand, to be appropriate, to be positive, to get somewhere, that we become stuck in trying. We say to whomever will listen, "But I'm trying, I'm really trying." Maybe we are trying so hard, we are getting in the way of our natural unfolding. Relax. Let go of even trying to figure it all out. Let it be. Look at the sky, the trees, the natural order and harmony of this earth. As Chogyam Trungpa said, "The sky is always above us, the earth always below us"— we always know where we are. So we can relax.
