"When we know love matters more than anything, and we know that nothing else really matters, we move into the state of surrender. Surrender does not diminish our power, it enhances it." ~ Sara Paddison.
Part of the first line of trenches in the seige of Cornwallis at Yorktown during the Revolutionary War. The British Army was backed against the James River and was unable to cross to escape the Americans. It was said a violent storm which included a tornado swamped and destroyed most of their ships. Washington and our French allies continued to bombard the British and built closer trench lines until the British were forced to surrender at Yorktown, effectively ending the war...

If I were Water strider, this cascading river flow would be my favourite surf place. As a human, I just love being there and observe...
Another image from my local beach. I think I mentioned before that the sea defences have been abandoned to sea. This particular breakwater is now shorter, the leaning timbers having now fully surrendered.
Some people stand in the darkness
Afraid to step into the light
Some people need to help somebody
When the edge of surrenders in sight
Don't you worry
It's gonna be alright
Cause I'm always ready
I won't let you out of my sight

It is said that in a forgotten time, there existed the Organum Noctis, known as "The Organ of the Night." It was no ordinary instrument, but a mystical and powerful entity. As night fell, this magical organ would ignite with an energy that sprang from its very core, a light like fire, yet without being fire. At its sides, two ancient and serene faces sang in chorus, their voices the organ itself. As they intoned their pacifying music, the wisdom of the Desiderata could be heard, a melody of words that filled the air and calmed the soul.
Walk peacefully amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there is in silence.
As far as possible, without surrendering your principles, maintain good relations with others.
Speak your truth calmly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive people, for they are a vexation to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you will become vain and bitter, for there will always be people greater and lesser than yourself.
Enjoy your accomplishments as well as your plans.
Maintain an interest in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business dealings, for the world is full of trickery.
But do not be blind to the virtue that exists; many people strive for great ideals, and life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Above all, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Gently accept the counsel of the years, gracefully relinquishing the things of youth.
Cultivate strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Along with healthy discipline, be kind to yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And, whether you find it easy or difficult, there is no doubt that the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive of Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, the world is still beautiful.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
Se cuenta que en un tiempo olvidado, existió el Organum Noctis, conocido como "El órgano de la noche". No era un instrumento común, sino una entidad mística y poderosa. Al llegar la noche, este órgano mágico se encendía con una energía que brotaba de sus entrañas, una luz que era como el fuego, pero sin ser fuego. A sus costados, dos rostros antiguos y serenos cantaban a coro, con una voz que era la del propio órgano. Mientras entonaban su música pacificadora, se escuchaba la sabiduría de la Desiderata, una melodía de palabras que llenaba el aire y calmaba el alma.
Camina plácido entre el ruido y la prisa, y recuerda la paz que se puede encontrar en el silencio.
En cuanto sea posible y sin rendirte, mantén buenas relaciones con los demás.
Di tu verdad de una manera serena y clara; y escucha a los demás, incluso al torpe e ignorante; ellos también tienen su historia.
Evita a las personas ruidosas y agresivas, pues son un fastidio para el espíritu.
Si te comparas con los demás, te volverás vano y amargado, pues siempre habrá personas más grandes y más pequeñas que tú.
Disfruta de tus logros, así como de tus planes.
Mantén el interés en tu propia carrera, por humilde que sea; es un verdadero tesoro en las cambiantes fortunas del tiempo.
Sé cauto en tus negocios, pues el mundo está lleno de trampas.
Pero no por ello te ciegues a la virtud que existe; mucha gente lucha por grandes ideales, y la vida está llena de heroísmo.
Sé tú mismo.
Especialmente, no finjas afectos.
Tampoco seas cínico respecto del amor, pues frente a toda aridez y desencanto, es tan perenne como la hierba.
Acepta dócilmente el consejo de los años, abandonando con donaire las cosas de la juventud.
Cultiva la fuerza del espíritu para que te proteja en la desgracia repentina.
Muchos temores nacen de la fatiga y la soledad.
Junto con una sana disciplina, sé amable contigo mismo.
Tú eres una criatura del universo, no menos que los árboles y las estrellas; tienes derecho a existir.
Y, te resulte fácil o difícil, no hay duda de que el universo se desarrolla como debe.
Por lo tanto, vive en paz con Dios, cualquiera que sea tu idea de Él.
Y cualesquiera que sean tus trabajos y aspiraciones, en la ruidosa confusión de la vida, mantén la paz con tu alma.
Con todas sus farsas, penalidades y sueños rotos, el mundo es todavía hermoso.
Sé alegre.
Esfuérzate por ser feliz.

The surrender of Imperial Japan was announced by Japanese Emperor Hirohito on August 15 and formally signed on September 2, 1945, bringing the hostilities of World War II to a close. By the end of July 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy was incapable of conducting major operations and an Allied invasion of Japan was imminent. Together with the British Empire and China, the United States called for the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945—the alternative being "prompt and utter destruction". While publicly stating their intent to fight on to the bitter end, Japan's leaders were privately making entreaties to the publicly neutral Soviet Union to mediate peace on terms more favorable to the Japanese.Info: Wikipedia
