Imagine the creating involved in order to love something or someone by letting them go.
Surrendering to what you want and hope for in order to allow someone else to follow the path they choose, which can be vastly different than your path.
The generous art of daily surrender, starting with self.

Asked a worker yesterday, “How’s life been treating you?”
Him: With a heavy sigh, “I’m working two jobs.”
Me: “Sorry to hear that. Hang in there.”
The long walk home (to the Omni) last night i rethought the conversation and wished i would have asked, “How many hours are you working?”
Why?
Because a gut feeling says the number of hours i spend working is equal to or greater than his combined two-jobs total.
He never asked, “So what about you?”
i pray especially focused prayers for people who feel like a victim. The prayers revolve around them discovering gratitude as a weapon to fight against “feeling sorry for themselves”.
Additionally, the prayers focus on “the victims” being more aware and empathetic to everyone they encounter. Why? It’s helped me over the course of my life and i am convinced it will help almost anyone.
