Surrender
Once I failed
I regret, oh, how I regret!
What if it happens again?
Full of doubts and fear
I stand at the shore
of the river of life
I hear a seductive voice:
Take off your clothes!
Don't hold back! Jump!
Waves washing around my body
I am floating, zero gravity
no ground under my feet
no future, no past
no hope, no desire
only trust and surrender
Finally I found what I have been seeking
I am at home, perfectly happy
devoted to the magical moment of the NOW
I regret, oh, how I regret!
What if it happens again?
Full of doubts and fear
I stand at the shore
of the river of life
I hear a seductive voice:
Take off your clothes!
Don't hold back! Jump!
Waves washing around my body
I am floating, zero gravity
no ground under my feet
no future, no past
no hope, no desire
only trust and surrender
Finally I found what I have been seeking
I am at home, perfectly happy
devoted to the magical moment of the NOW

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with me, Didi! Yes, it is strange - reliving the past in our thoughts again and again, full of fear what the future may hold for us, we are about to miss the present moment, the now, the only moment we can truly influence!

What is really cool, is your awesome comparison, I_IS_ME! Baptism ... yes, it fits somehow! Thank you!
