Surrender

Activity is not accomplishment, nor stillness failure.
Even the center of a hurricane is peaceful.
That we cannot have what we want is an offering in itself; an
invitation to shelter and let the day go by without us.
Life will be there in the morning, tapping its foot impatiently.
Afford yourself the same grace you would bestow on a stranger-- permission to stand down.
Self worth dwells in the thickening stillness of our deepest core, offering us the strength to face the approaching storm.

Life is most certainly an array of events. Those who have mastered the art of knowing when to stand their ground and when to walk away, or just observe or intervene even hide just to recuperate. These are the people who have found balance and peace. This piece of yours has much food for thought and could keep one busy for some time. Excellent write thank you for sharing your wisdom. God bless
Greetings

Well hello hello :)
Messages like yours, and particularly this at the moment are so needed, if not for everyone, then at the very least for me myself around this time and stage of growing and developing.
So often, and so easy is it to see failure and the like where nothing/'/s even occurring. It/'/s rather sad, yet at the same time useful to drive us, or a least churn ourselves and keep our fires stoked, so that we leave that peaceful point, and go out into the fray, and brave it- for better and for worse!
A charming and kind avenue of inspirational smile, that I will relish a little while. It makes for a mentally-stimulating encouragement as to the drive. You may need a "part II" for some people who hang on to "comfort" like I so often do. Lol
Great write Jaye :D |

Such wise words, friend.
I need to print this and put it next to my desk to read,
or maybe put it on my mirror,
so when I stare into my eyes searching
for that I cannot find,
I will see your words instead
and be okay.
Thank you,
Mike |

Wow. Beautiful, Jaye!
I think you wrote this to me :)
I have yet to learn "nor stillness failure"
I keep plugging along and afraid to let dust rest upon my feet. I/'/m your greatest fan.

James! Yo! Up ABOVE! You are, wrong Sir. I, Sir, I am her most fervent fan, though we probably both stand behind her son and family.
Jus/'/ playin/'/....I reckon she could fill a stadium with fans all making the same claim as us. This poetry is but one talent in and of her multifaceted life (I would think, that is...no one writing like her lived a mundane life..or is living one).
