There is a Word Called “Surrender”

and it makes me think of the Korean monks who chant “donnnnn’t knowwwww”

i too don’t know.

and the sufis in all of their wisdom and self given titles of “idiots”

—to know differently… to know from somewhere beyond what is rational and intellectual.

and it makes me think of my whole creative process….

there is only so much i can do…. only so far i can take an idea … before i have to completely surrender….

give it back to where it came from … pass the baton onto invisible hands that carry it and me across the finish line… … …

it’s okay to know… someone once told me…

and… it’s also okay to not know… to surrender…

to give it all back to where it came from … to let life become the creative process…

to let the invisible hands take over our own …to carry us.

“If you surrender to the wind, you can ride it.” ~Toni Morrison
