Surrender Into Love
Like a Gull on the Wind
A gull on a thermal, its body fully supported by unseen forces, hovers above the vast ocean below. The updrafts lift it higher, holding it in its entirety. The bird makes small adjustments to change direction, but the effort of flight itself — the rising, the floating — is surrendered to its Creator.
No questioning. No overthinking. No endless analysis. Only trust. Only surrender.
Nature shows us, time and again, what it looks like to let go into the current of love. The gull doesn’t cling to the air — it relaxes into it. The most peaceful, joyful, and loving act you can do for yourself is the same: to surrender into the love that surrounds you and holds you.
Witnessing Your Pain Without Becoming It
Your body may carry physical pain, your heart emotional pain. These burdens can settle deep in your bones, creating a fatigue that feels endless. But the Council reminds: pain is not weakness. It is not fault.
“I see you, yet you are not me. I feel you, yet I am not you. I carry you in this moment, but you are not my identity.”
When you resist identifying with your pain as you, space opens. For brief moments, you can set it down. You can breathe without it pressing against your chest. You can rest in the truth that you are more than what hurts.
Moment by Moment Unburdening
You don’t need to transcend pain forever in one leap. Just begin. One moment at a time. One breath at a time.
Unburden yourself for a single heartbeat. Then another. Notice what it feels like to stand unencumbered, even briefly. With each moment of release, you create more space for love to pour in. You create more space for transformation to occur.
This is not denial. It is transmutation. Empowerment. The act of choosing love in the present moment.
A Simple Prayer
In this moment I set aside pain.
In this moment I breathe in love.
In this moment I surrender into love, like a gull on the wind.
Reflection: Where in your life can you stop gripping so tightly and let yourself be carried, even just for a moment?
