Surrender

My inclination has been to chart my own course, despite what the Universe has in store for me.  The inevitable result is frustration as I resist what will happen anyway.  One would think that at some point I would realize the futility of it all.  And somehow, even with a clearer and more open mind, I still see the same thing unfolding, although so very different.  I am at the point where I think the old Zen ideal of simply being is the only real "Way" of consequence.  The key point to this is being comfortable with paradox and not-knowing.  Life is basically a big question mark.  As soon as the question is answered, the context changes so the original question and answer are not at all relevant.  We don't ever get smart enough to second-guess, or even understand the process.  The best we can do is surrender.  

It's really simply after all.

"Be still. Stop struggling. Enter the holy shrine of your heart, and there find peace and joy. You have always been perfect and you will always be perfect. There's absolutely nothing you have to delete or add."  Robert Adams
