"A cauldron of contradictions" mm. perfectly describes the conundrum of living in a human body.
In regards to the concept of surrender, I hear you.
In this writing and phase in my life, I am connecting to it in a way of allowing myself to honor the larger current that is carrying me, while also still resisting it. Dancing in between gripping and relaxing. In this context, surrender feels like a relief to me. As in, I am not giving up or giving my power away, but rather gaining it by letting go of the internal battles within. I am not surrendering to an external force that has power over me and is taking from me but rather surrendering to the wisdom within that IS my body, the earth, my ancestors - all as one.
Slowly, bit by bit. Feeling freer and more connected to my body as a way to center my life. And still hating it a lot of the time ;)
Your juicy responses are so supportive here. <3
