Surrender is so counterintuitive! ~ Carol from New York City

Turn it over, not my will but yours.
Not what I would have expected?
You better believe it! What seems right,
natural…real…is seeing to business,
being responsible, exercising willpower,
holding others to their commitments,
looking out for ourselves!
That’s what my intuition says,
from long practice, I must watch my back,
keep from being betrayed by folks,
from being dumped on.
Turn it over, not my will but yours.
Surrender. See to my side of the street.
What she thinks of me is not my business.
What she does is none of mine.
How can you run a life like that?
How?
Sanely. Safely. Serenely.
