Dearest Nicola, you are one of the most courageous woman I have ever known. Through your surrender you gave us one of the most precious gifts one can give - wisdom sifted through pain. It costed you a great deal much to accumulate this priceless knowledge about surrendering, and yet you put it across with grace and poignancy without ever asking anything in return. Thank you for sharing this wisdom, and for showing us what courage looks like. Much love always. ❤️🙏🏼

Surrender is a posture one assumes through life experience, taking happenings as they come and then letting them release. It is the allowance of pain and the allowance of pleasure, all taken with the willingness to let go. It is not possible to cling to the illusions of this world and realise the truth of who you are.

Bravo, Nicola. If this were a kindle, this paragraph and the next would be read “100 people underlined this.” Beautiful.

In my Dragon Dreaming course we focus on being in prescence, and in so doing experience emergence of new ideas from the community...after reading your column I feel that actually what we practice in Dragon Dreaming is a kind of "surrendering" to each other. In DD we surrender our individuality, we surrender our egos in the effort to allow emergence of communal engagement. Your column helps me value the potential of DD as a healing activity.

Thank you Alice! Community is a courageous pathway, and every day we are invited to surrender: to the land, to the vision, to each other. I'm glad that you appreciate that this effort is worthwhile.
