Sweet surrender? Not me! Kicking and screaming loudly and silently until the end! Not graceful at all.

My ego does not want any part of sweet surrender, but it is clever at pretense. It plays along and fools me into thinking that all of the players are on board and then... WHAM! I discover that some small part of me is still back at the station observing and laughing as the rest of the family takes off on the journey forward.

Now this small piece is subtly messing up the picture or holding back, so instead of 100% clarity, I am registering 99%.

99% at any stage of the game is pretty darned good. But, if you have ever tasted 100% presence, or been around someone who is operating at that level, there is a difference.

So, I am on to the game. I have become good at spotting the wayward 1 % in all of it
