Surrender

Imagine that you’re a giant wave barreling towards the shore. Rushing like that, you realize that only a few moments separate you from destruction. But this currently feels so good that you don’t think about it at all; you just go, flow, and surrender.
And then, that moment arrives. You break onto the shore, causing an enormous bang. A nearby flock of seagulls, which were calmly sitting on the shore, take flight. And a group of people get drenched in thousands of your droplets which scattered about. But still, they all have smiles on their faces and a flash of happiness in their eyes at the intensity of the force they’ve just encountered. Happiness wells up in you, too, and while your droplets, your pieces, are completely distancing themselves from your core, you don’t regret it; you know that you did what you were meant to do. You created energy, you showed your strength and your force. Your existence brought happiness to many, and, at the same time, it confirmed an order which has to be.
What do you think would happen if you gave up at the last minute; what consequences would that have for all the waves behind you? Big ones perhaps, or maybe none. Maybe nothing significant would happen, maybe just a comment or two would be heard from the shore, about how “the sea calmed down”.
Yes, that’s right. Absolutely nothing significant would happen if you didn’t crash onto the shore, but you did. And that was your choice then. And after that, the great ocean awaited you and took you back into its embrace. It again connected you with all of your cells and cloaked you in its deep blue warmth. It showed you that you’re not alone.
No matter what decision you make, your life will take you back, as will the entire universe and all of its galaxies. You can’t do anything so wrong or so bad that you’ll end up suffering for it.
It all comes down to choice and to surrender, regardless of what it is that you surrender to. Whether you crash onto the shore or not, in the end, you’ll still be a wave, part of the great ocean.
