i surrender all
to the promises You made
i will give it all
to the Maker of the day
no one knows your heart
no one knows your fears
when no one solves the mysteries
or even wipes away the tears
i surrender all
do you hear the sound of laughter
from the other side of life?
there are days when i feel
like a stranger sometimes
are there any other fools like me?
i surrender all
/ / words by peter furler
.
... to you
'cause you
have shattered my defenses
I don't wanna resist
and I can't go on
without your tender arms around me
I surrender...

We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel.

"Surrendering"

When I first brought this picture into photoshop, I didn't think it would make it as an image. But then I brought it up a second time about a week later and tried again, this time I saw something. Thank you Betsie for rolling around the hills of Nara park to get the dress dirty. (Those same hills have deer crap all over them, I might add) Yay for Betsie!
When I first imagined the image, I saw a young girl, all beat up, bruised, and dirty, in the midst of a fight. But in my head, the person I was at war with was actually myself. In the end, she gave up. There would be no more fighting, just peace.
Please tell me what you see in the image I always love reading what you say.
Please check out the photo on my site, what has better quality: www.reyliaslaby.com/
Always,
Reylia

Spring rain doesn't just grow strong healthy gardens, it can grow strong healthy, body, mind and spirt if one only opens up to it, if one only steps out in faith….one might grow and it may hurt a little but that's what growing is all about. Just Surrender.
This song came on today, I had never heard it but I just felt it so much as I listened to each word.

I was getting ready for a bike ride, and discovered this amazing flower in the front yard while I was bringing my bike out from the garage. Where did that come from? And how does a simple flower evoke such symbolic meaning and beautiful design?
I've learned my lesson... if opportunity knocks, you have to seize the moment. Tomorrow the flower may be eaten up or destroyed by a cat and be gone. So I delayed my bike ride and rushed into the house to get my camera and tripod.
I discovered there are many photo ops right in front of one's nose if you just keep an eye out for them!
At the moment of surrender
I'm falling to my knees
I did not notice the passers by
And they did not notice me
Eduardo Kobra, a street artist from Sao Paulo, Brasil, based this painting upon the iconic photograph "V-J Day in Times Square" by Alfred Eisenstaedt. I have previously posted an image of the 25-foot tall sculpture "Unconditional Surrender" by Seward Johnson in Sarasota, Florida, based on a similar original photo by Victor Jorgensen of the same couple's kiss. I have re-posted that image below.
The Zamzama Gun, also known as Kim’s Gun or Bhangianwala Toap is a large bore cannon. It was cast in 1757 in Lahore, now in Pakistan but at the time part of the Durrani Empire. It is currently on display in front of the Lahore Museum in Lahore, Pakistan.
The gun is 14 feet, 4½ inches (4.38 metres) in length, with a bore at its aperture of 9½ inches (24.13 centimetres). This historically significant gun, one of the largest ever made in the sub-continent, was cast at Lahore along with another gun of the same size in 1757 by Shah Nazir under the directions of Shah Wali Khan, who was prime minister in the reign of the Abdali King Ahmed Shah Durrani [1]. The gun has the date of manufacture, names of the monarch and the technician along with verses in Persian molded with floral patterns all over the barrel.
The Zamzama Gun was said to have been 'made of copper and brass'. Its construction was funded by the people of Lahore who were asked to give their kitchen utensils for the gun[citation needed]. According to some writers, some metal was obtained through jizya, metal vessels having been taken from Hindu households in Lahore
The cannon bears two Persian inscriptions. The front one reads: "By the order of the Emperor [ie: Ahmad Shah], DuriDurran, Shah Wali Khan wazir made the gun named Zamzama or the Taker of Strongholds." The longer versified inscription at the back eulogizes its bulk and invincibility: "A destroyer even of the strongholds of the heaven." Verses at the end of the inscription contain a chronogram: "From reason I enquire of the year of its manufacture; Struck with terror it replied, 'Wert thou be willing to surrender thine life, I wouldst unfold unto thee the secret.' I agreed, and it said, 'What a cannon! 'Tis a mighty fire dispensing dragon!'".
The gun was used by Ahmed Shah in the battle of Panipat, in 1761. After the battle, on his way back to Kabul, he left it at Lahore with his governor, Khawaja Ubed, as the carriage that was supposed to take the gun to Kabul was not ready. The other gun he took with him but that one was lost in passage through the Chenab.
In 1762, Hari Singh Bhangi went into battle with Khawaja Ubed. Bhangi attacked the then village of Khawaja Said two miles from Lahore (now part of the city of Lahore), where the mughal governor Khawaja Ubed had his arsenal, and seized his artillery, arms and ammunition. Amongst the guns captured was the Zamzama Gun itself. It was renamed by its Sikh captors Bhangi Toap. For the next two years, it lay in the Shah Burj of the Lahore Fort. Thereafter, Lehna Singh and Gujjar Singh Bhangi got hold of it and they gave it to Charat Singh Shukerchakia as his share in the spoils. The Bhangi Sardars thought that Charat Singh would not be able to carry this gun with him and it would remain with them. But contrary to their expectations, Charat Singh successfully carried this gun to his fort at Gujranwala.
From Charat Singh, Zamzama was snatched by the Pashtuns of Chatha who took it to Ahmadnagar where it became a bone of contention between the Pathan brothers Ahmad Khan and Pir Muhammad. In the fight that ensued, two sons of Ahmad Khan and one of Pir Muhammad were killed. In this fight, Gujjar Singh Bhangi sided with Pir Muhammad. After the victory, the gun was restored to Gujjar Singh. After two years, the gun was wrested by Charat Singh Shukerchakia from whom it was once again snatched by the Pashtuns.
Next year, Sardar Jhanda Singh Bhangi defeated the Pashtuns of Chatha and brought the gun to Amritsar. In 1802, Ranjit Singh, after defeating the Bhangis, got hold of the gun. He used it in the battles of Daska, Kasur, Sujanpur, Wazirabad and Multan. In the siege of Multan, the gun was badly damaged.[2]
Zamzama was severely damaged due to its use in wars told above and it had to be brought back to Lahore, unfit for any further use. It was placed outside Delhi Gate, Lahore, where it remained until 1860. When in 1864, Maulawi Nur Ahmad Chishti compiled the TahqiqatiChishti, he found it standing in the Baradari of the garden of Wazir Khan, behind the Lahore Museum. In 1870, it found a new asylum at the entrance of the Lahore Museum, then located in the Tollinton Market. It was placed in this position on the occasion of the Duke of Edinburgh’s visit to Lahore in 1870. When the present building of the museum was constructed it was removed further west and placed opposite the University Hall Repaired in 1977, the cannon now rests on Mall Road (Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam) with Department of Fine Arts, University of Punjab on one side, and National College of Arts (NCA) and Lahore Museum on the other.
It came to be known as Kim's Gun after Rudyard Kipling in whose childhood memoirs it obtained frequent mention[3].
“ He sat, in defiance of municipal orders, astride the gun Zam-Zammah on her brick platform opposite the old Ajaib-Gher -- the Wonder House, as the natives call the Lahore Museum.
Who hold Zam-Zammah, that 'fire-breathing dragon', hold the Punjab, for the great green-bronze piece is always first of the conqueror's loot.
„
—Rudyard Kipling, Kim
It was also called Bhangianwala Toap, possibly[who?] a translation of the Persian name of the gun into Urdu or Punjabi.

This is my Honda buried after the blizzard of Christmas, 2022. To give you an idea of how much snow fell, I shovelled around and cleaned the car off at 2 PM on Dec. 23 and this photo was taken before noon on Dec. 24.
و چه ساده در تمام جنگها شکست می خوریم
و تسلیم می شویم
به این روزمرگی عادت کرده ایم
و به آن می خندیم
حافظه ی موقت ما از یاد برده که زمانی
فاتح بودیم...
دیر زمانیست به همه چیز پشت کرده ایم
حتی به زندگی

Surrender (White Caps) by Jordan Azcune, QLD.
White Caps depicts a formal parade of white flags, grounded in rows with white ropes and simple poles, these 6ft-tall structures suggest an anthropomorphic crowd of waves, activated by wind rather than swell. Its D.Y.I. engineering and formal special alignment set next to the context of the ocean offer opportunity to test the inevitability of wind force and highlight the kinetic beauty of material flow. White Caps optimises its position in reference to the sea, while parodying the complex nature of symbols within maritime and surf culture.

| surrender |
to surrender
does not turn our hands over
in still motion
allowing cold water to spill
over back of the hand
until wrinkled skin
envelopes the supple.
it is not giving up -
surrender is the cupping
curving up of hands
collecting flowing water -
in acceptance -
that not all will be gathered,
not all will stop in course.
the stream will pour over
wet running from fingers
toward bony wrist
with understanding and gratitude
that some will pool
and we will have enough
to end our thirst.

Truth is I surrendered to the carnival on the last Sunday, no guilt involved. And yes, carnival in Rio starts (unofficially) about 2 or 3 weeks before the official date and it returns in the following weekend. It should have ended that Sunday, but I heard that will be some kind of party on the 27th...
