Wasn’t sure where this was going after the first paragraph 😂… but this was beautiful brother. Thank you for sharing your experience.

A line of questioning that comes to mind as I contemplate this: what if the urge to control is just as emergent as anything else? What if, when it arises, it’s the universe telling us to apply some pressure to a situation, to alter its course? What if we didn’t try to control our urge to control and let that flow as freely as any other sensation?

Let’s say there’s a situation where my kids are in danger. I’m going to try to gain control of that situation. As you mention, I still have agency.

So where is the line? When is trying to control, itself, an act of surrender?
