Thank you for this! Learning to “give over” instead of “give up” is ver powerful medicine, indeed. And I loved the picture — perfect!

Like some others here - giving over rather than giving up. (I sense that) "I've taken this as far as I can, now I'm passing the baton to something that can take it further, to something greater." I hesitated with words of (possibly) 'something better' because my work is not without effort or recognition. It is simply the next right step 🙏

Beautiful poem made even more so by your writing. Surrender can be such a relief, not giving up. Simply realizing the power it gives us to give over. Blessings, Alan!
