Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want
than take what you give that I need
and I've beat my head against so many walls
now I'm falling down, falling on my knees
--Hold Me Jesus (Rich Mullins)
Unconditional Surrender is a series of sculptures by Seward Johnson resembling a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, V–J day in Times Square, but said by Johnson to be based on a similar, less well known, photograph by Victor Jorgensen.
Imperial War Museums (IWM) is a British national museum organisation with branches at five locations in England, three of which are in London.
Founded as the Imperial War Museum in 1917, the museum was intended to record the civil and military war effort and sacrifice of Britain and its Empire during the First World War.
The museum's remit has since expanded to include all conflicts in which British or Commonwealth forces have been involved since 1914. As of 2012, the museum aims 'to provide for, and to encourage, the study and understanding of the history of modern war and "wartime experience"'.
Originally housed in the Crystal Palace at Sydenham Hill, the museum opened to the public in 1920.
In 1924 the museum moved to space in the Imperial Institute in South Kensington, and finally in 1936 the museum acquired a permanent home which was previously the Bethlem Royal Hospital in Southwark.
The outbreak of the Second World War saw the museum expand both its collections and its terms of reference, but in the post-war period the museum entered a period of decline.
The 1960s saw the museum redevelop its Southwark building, now referred to as Imperial War Museum London, which serves as the organisation's corporate headquarters.
During the 1970s the museum began to expand onto other sites. The first, in 1976, was a historic airfield in Cambridgeshire now referred to as IWM Duxford.
In 1978 the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Belfast became a branch of the museum, having previously been preserved for the nation by a private trust.
In 1984 the Cabinet War Rooms, an underground wartime command centre, was opened to the public.
From the 1980s onwards the museum's Bethlem building underwent a series of multimillion-pound redevelopments, completed in 2000.
Finally, 2002 saw the opening of IWM North in Trafford, Greater Manchester, the fifth branch of the museum and the first in the north of England.
In 2011 the museum rebranded itself as IWM, standing for 'Imperial War Museums'.
...to the beauty that we breath constantly

This is one of my favorite shots from my last shoot, it almost looks like the water is stabbing her and going inside her chest.
Its crazy the way a camera can capture water, i love itt.
By Bruce Springsteen
We busted out of class
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three minute record
Than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you're tired,
And you just want to close your eyes
And follow your dreams down
We made a promise,
We swore we'd always remember
No retreat, no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter's night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, no surrender
Now young faces grow sad, and old
And hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers, against the wind
I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice, calling us home
Across the open yards
Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own
With these drums, and these guitars
Blood brothers in the stormy night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, no surrender
Now on the street tonight, the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
There's a war outside still raging
You say it ain't ours anymore to win
I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies, in my lover's bed
With a wide open country in my eyes
And these romantic dreams, in my head

The snow covered vehicles appear to be surrendering to big snow and ice storm that is pounding New England.
I Surrender All notes
A Faith LO to remind myself to be thankful for everything I have, which is plenty, even when I'm broke, or sick, or sad.

This surrender card is more about the surrender to one's talent, and to one's need to reinvent oneself, than it is about the surrender to God (as in the Sufi Dervish card) -- but perhaps these are not different?
