Surrender to everything that is. It's not to be confused with giving up. For surrendering requires at the same time the greatest courage but is expressed in the smallest shifts. Sometimes barely noticeable through our sensory perspectives considering the great change these small shifts bring about. It's a matter of scale. We sometimes feel stuck in this box where bugs are small and trees are big, forgetting how everything is relative and not everything resides inside the box. We don’t learn (or we forget) how thoughts are energy, just as much as our actions in the material world. The same goes the other way around, when we attribute too much to physical action and even feel trapped by our own inaction at times, all the while being unaware that the world is still spinning and nothing is ever standing still. Trust the process. Let the waves wash.
Pictured here is my dear friend Gosia in the sea on Koh Phangan.
Never surrender, never give up, Always harness the strength within.

My visit to the hawk owl nest started with a one hour feeding frenzy for the mosquitoes. I think one hawk owl was patrolling the area for threats and the other out hunting and all is saw was an occassional little head above the nest.
Then suddenly the female flew to the nest and vocalizing. Then the male was directly over my head with a vole in its mouth and vocalizing back.
He then flew to the nest, surrendered the vole to the female and left on another hunting trip.
Made me forget the mosquitos.
I've traveled a tough road over the last 8 years, all self inflicted. I've recently come to the realisation that surrender & acceptance can be a wonderful thing. To surrender & accept life & see that there is immense beauty around me has been a truly eye opening experience. We are all bound at times by faults & limitations but if we take our focus off of these we will see the most wonderful moments. Thank you for stopping by & taking a look at some of my images.......
....but are you listening????

I lived a lot of different lives, been different people many times. I lived my life in bitterness and filled my heart with emptiness.
It was a cold afternoon, just as all of them had been in the days. Days that seemed like decades. Hours that devastated my mind. Seconds that killed the fire. But the time had come. I met him at the place we both knew so well, and as I was approaching,
a smile hushed over his lips.
“You got it?”, he asked and his brittle voice cut even deeper in my heart than many miseries that I had brought to myself. “I think so.”, I murmured undecidedly and uncertain. I felt uneasy. I always did. Not only uneasy, but also empty. Empty and full at the same time, as if I could explode and implode within a second. But the time had come. No longer could I bear all of this. No longer did I want to hold the key. I lifted my arm with the last feeling of strength I felt rushing through my veins.
“Here it is. Surrender has come to poison my senses. This little life I’m living is no longer mine. And as my body crawls down the path, run away and never come back. Run to the world I wish I’ll never know … the world I wish I never knew. The places I never wanted to see. The people I never wanted to be. Run away with this surrender and turn black.”
“I will.”, he said. “I know I will.”

"Surrendering is letting go of resisting to what comes up. It is not the same as being stupid or blind (gullible). Be OK with either outcome. Withdraw intention from the matter. Surrender resisting. Surrender to God’'s will."
When you surrender everything to God, you can't have a say in the outcome. Do not look for a result, personal volition is removed, whatever God's will is, that's it."
"The way to God is constant surrender."
The Process of Surrender
* Spiritual seekers know that the core of all pathways to God is surrender, but to what is not clear. Without a decisive technique, many seekers spend years surrendering on content and complain that they are no farther along than before. The mind goes right on with its endless production and, therefore, one cannot surrender content as fast as it is produced; it is a losing game.
Next, one hears that it is not the content but attachments to the content that is the problem. This brings some relief but also brings the next question: How does one let go of attachments? It is necessary to examine to nature of an attachment. It is based on a belief and a desire. The belief is that a mental content will bring happiness and solve problems; therefore the attachments is to the implied promise that it is the thinking itself that is the road to happiness (wealth, success, love, etc.)
To let go of the thinking therefore seems frightening because it is also seen as the main tool of survival; plus it is 'me'. As 'me', it is viewed as unique, personal, and precious, and it constitutes the main data base of identification of 'who I am'.
The fear of loss of self-identity brings up resistance. As we get closer to the discovery of the source of the ego's tenacity, we make the amazing critical discovery that ''we are enamored with our self".
* There are two types of surrender
1. Surrender as attitude and
2. Surrender of specifics.
Surrender as attitude is when you say “whatever will be will be”. You go with the flow, either way will be fine. See the positive in any outcome.
* Constantly surrendering your will to God allows you to notice the spontaneity of life without putting forth your own agenda. You pull back. You are the witness. You pull back from being in the middle of the drama to being the witness, to being the watcher, to being the whole context in which everything occurs. You make that a style, a way of being in the world. You are not doing. You are allowing.
*David R. Hawkins
“You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your imagination.”
As much as this falls has been overshot, there's a good reason why it is shot so often. Here, I wanted to focus on showing the sheer power of the water hurtling down hundreds of feet and spraying everything in sight. I also wanted to show the scale of the falls by placing my friend and guide Colby Brown right at the base. The challenge was figuring out the right shutter speed which would show movement but not render the water silky smooth. Given the sheer volume of spray projected at me and the camera, I had to have my lens cloth on the lens at all times and took it out only to take a burst of images.
Amazing storm that rolled over Newcastle last week. The shelf cloud only lasted for around 5 mins before it dispersed. Thats when the hail, Rain and Lightning started.
..... or is it forced upon? or just a convenience?
religion is looked upon differently by each person, to me each is a different form of surrender to faith, some for convenience, some for the benefits, some in times of need and very rarely for nothing at all - the absolute surrender.
ps : I won't be able to comment regularly for sometime - will be in to post photos whenever possible though ;)
Happy independance day India ;)

This image is part of my metamorphosis series on humans becoming nature. Here a man has come to accept his transformation, he’s at peace and in deep surrender.
The first step of change in life is accepting and acknowledging it. Only when you’ve accepted something then can you embrace it and start learning/growing from it. When we change we experience loss and shed a part of ourselves to gain and attribute the new parts that are forming. But accepting change is not some ethereal ideal, you have to be willing to plan and take the necessary actions that are the steps and stages for growth.
As this year is coming to a close this image is important for me to reflect upon the personal changes I’ve experienced this year and what it took to get me where I am now. I was in a very different and dark place earlier this year but have emerged from such pain into much more joy with many new friends who have helped me along the way. I’ve never been so excited for the things I have planned for next year! Thanks to my friends for playing such important parts to my well being and I hope you are able to take some time out to reflect upon your year and the journey it’s taken you. Thanks to everyone else for following my journey, I hope in some way I have given some inspiration to your lives and hope you will spread your own to others.
