To Learn The Steps in The Dance of Surrender

I have had this prayer percolating inside, not sure when it will brew complete, 

but maybe the essence of these murmurings 

are meant to be sipped 

and not gulped down whole.

Enable me to be at home with impermanence.

Teach me the dance of surrender.

O make of me, a great letting go.

May the sacred emptiness of my life help others to know fullness.                                      

-From seven sacred pauses by Macrina Wiederkehr

Amen.

I don't know about you, but I spend a lot of time wishing and wanting for things to get back to "normal", but I am realizing "normal" is often just another word for "I am in control" and "I am in control" is just a fantasy, an illusion.

Have you found this to be true? Are you learning the steps in the dance of surrender?

I feel most of the time I have two left feet.
