Surrender to what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be
Sonia Ricotti
It is April 5th 2020. 4 days until my mum’s birthday. I won’t get to see her. She is in isolation in the UK after a brief stay in hospital and I am in Switzerland with no available flights for the foreseeable future.
I could be angry. I could be sad. I could be frustrated. I could be digging my nails into my palms and feeling sorry for myself.
Or
I could just surrender to what is.
There have been many occasions in my past when I have not easily surrendered to what is. I have felt victimised or very sorry for myself and not allowed myself to simply surrender.
Now don’t get me wrong, surrendering to events and circumstances beyond our control is not “just”. It takes practice and commitment and determination to be like a stone at the bottom of a fast flowing river.
Can you visualize that in your mind’s eye. Can you see yourself as a coloured stone on the riverbed, smiling, being whilst the water continues it’s journey down stream to the ocean.
Let go and relax. Relax every muscle in your body. Every tight sinew of muscle. Every cell of every tight sinew.
SURRENDER
Who knows what our world and our societies and our lives will be like when we all come out of isolation, quarantine and confinement. Who the F**k knows why this and why now? It really doesn’t matter cos as I said earlier, there is nothing we can do to change it except surrender and let go and be that stone.
What I do know is that I have faith in what will be.
Having faith and having trust that what we are experiencing both as a collective humanity and as individuals on a health and cellular level is for our higher good.
I could be angry. I could be sad. I could be frustrated. I could be digging my nails into my palms and feeling sorry for myself.
Or
I could just surrender to what is.
Sending you love and protection wherever you are in the world and wherever you are on the path to surrender
Keep shining and sparkling,
