Surrender

Glistening eyes, sticky eye lashes. What a beautifully raw scene. We saw rawness in Anne Lister’s affect, emotions, statements, appearance, and even in her surroundings in nature’s raw beauty. She finally surrendered to her love for Ann Walker and to the fact that she had taken a risk in her business and had failed. But, more pointedly, she surrendered to herself. It can take a long time to simply admit to ourselves that we are human...to acknowledge our feelings, our failures, and our vulnerability - to allow ourselves to naturally be who we are and to surrender to whoever that may be and whatever that might look like. But after we do, the freedom of all that surrendering feels grand!
