The message I keep hearing from people is how tired they are, how utterly weary and exhausted. The message I keep hearing in response from Nature herself is this: "Now is the time to collapse. Now is the time to be fallen, and dissolve like the snow. It's perfectly OK to sink, to let go, to be scattered like seed. Fall into Me. You are held. It was precisely your attempt to elevate yourself, to ascend, to triumph, to surmount, that has exhausted you and brought you to this trough in the light, this furrow in my loam. Here is your work now: surrender. Abandon the quest. Only when you drop like a withered seed in complete surrender, will you be born like a new Sun from the very darkness you embrace. There is no other way to get through this miracle."
