Surrender and trust are linked in my mind.
Spiritually, emotionally, sexually - without trust, I'm not surrendering anything.


Has to be, but when you surrender to life you do not trust that you will not get hurt, you will get hurt...you know that going in....you trust that you will be Ok.
Sexual surrender sometimes trust is required by people, that is a far as they can go in surrender....do if if they trust the other.
Surrender to God..sometimes trust that God will take care to look out for you.
Love...I don't know how anyone could surrender to love trusting that that they will not get hurt. Love always hurts at times.


Wow. Amen, so-to-speak on a lot of that, hawkeye, ehbeth, especially the last one about love. That one gets to me. Having surrendered to love in its many facets is one of the most difficult things I've ever tried to do. That's such a long story I wouldn't deign to tell it here. I find you all so eloquent of speech, I couldn't possibly do it justice.

It is, perhaps, actually lack of trust that creates the hurt in love.
