Surrendering

Every day, I meet someone who has something to teach me about surrendering. There is a little girl at my school who moves about with the help of a walker. She is the most determined child, always smiling and saying hello to everyone. She likes to say, Hello, my name is Jasmine, what’s your name?

All around me, people are inspiring surrendering, from the person walking patiently with a cane across the street, to the mother dropping her kids off at school and heading to work, to the friend accepting the break up of a relationship. Can we share in the stories of surrender that all around us, and find courage in each other’s journey?
