Go and Proclaim

Proclaim from one's own room
A simple, direct surrender  that flies
Out the window to greet the world
With an unknowing of all things--
With being the vessel through which
Joyful, accepting, loving
Waters can flow.

To say that one knows surrender
Is to say that one doesn't really,
Truly know it, that is,
A surrender completely
Lost in the heart;
A surrender consumed
In the heart's fire of love.
Be still and know.
