COURAGE TO SURRENDER

THE POINT OF SURRENDER

 

“OUR BURDEN’S GIFT IS THE COURAGE TO SURRENDER”

 

THIS PAINTING INCORPORATES ANOTHER ONE LIFE’S FUNNY DIACHOTOMEYS. ONE HAS TO BE BRAVE TO SURRENDER?

YOU GIVE WHAT YOU MOST WANT TO HAVE. TO GET LOVE YOU GIVE LOVE.

THE BURDENS, REPRESENTED AS GOLDEN EGGS, THAT ARE SYMBOLS FOR REBIRTH AND HEALING. THEY ARE THE GIFTS OF PAINFUL OR CHALLENGING EXPERIENCES THAT HAVE TAUGHT US COMPASSION. , PERHAPS, ONE EXPERIENCES A LOSS, AND THEN ONE’S COMPASSION FOR ANOTHER EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR SITUATION IS RAISED. BUT SOMETIMES WE FORGET TO SURRENDER THE EXPERIENCE ITSELF, NOT THE LESSON.

  AT THE POINT WE FEEL WE CAN’T TAKE “ONE MORE THING GOING WRONG” IT HAPPENS. HERE THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL’S BACK IS A FEATHER, A GIFT …AND A GIFT IT IS IF IT GIVES US THE COURAGE TO SURRENDER AND STOP HOLDING ON.

BEYOND SURRENDER IS LOVE AND HEALING…SYMBOLISED BY THE GREEN HILLS AND TWO TREES INTERTWINED.THE BLOSSOMING PLUM TREES ARE THE CHINESE SYMBOL FOR THE FIVE GREAT BLESSINGS:

LONGEVITY

WEALTH

HEALTH

LOVE OF VIRTUE

A NATURAL DEATH
