Surrender: Not Weakness, but Humility
A choice to stop fighting and start returning. Quiet acceptance of your true direction.
What Is Surrender?
Surrender is not weakness.
It is humility. It is not defeat — but the conscious act of stopping the struggle and allowing the truth to guide you. To surrender is to return. To accept, gently and clearly, the path already opening inside you.
I Surrender to Solitude
Blog Posts
I surrender to my need to be alone. Not to loneliness — but to solitude. I choose when and how to step into it, what to separate from, and what to do within it.
I Am a Channel, Not a Container
My effort, I’ve learned firsthand, cannot depend solely on external texts or incoming messages. I am a writer. A man of prayer. A channel. A bridge.
If I devote most of my time to collecting water, it will overflow. I am the sluice — my role is to direct the water through the right channels.
The Flow Is Not Mine to Control
I don’t know where the waters will go — and it doesn’t matter. My intention is clear. I must work with the currents, understand them, not try to control them. To influence — not to change.
Between the Flow and the Web
The current of life keeps sweeping me again and again into the arms of the internet, into search engines. That is where I work, even though my dream is to be a writer, a screenwriter, and a playwright. Few of my creations have seen the light — and only the short ones. For years I lived with a deep sense of failure.
Even now, I still dream — by day and night — of success in the entertainment world.
What I Have Is Here
Nonsense. Hevel. What I have is what is here. I have the power to reach people and speak to them — to do it through Google, through the reliance on keywords. I choose to write myself, even though artificial intelligence could do all of it for me. I don’t do it for money. I do it because I surrender to my paradoxical desire: To be alone — and at the same time, to seek togetherness.
