Surrendering to What Is

#philosophy #ontology #trailrunning #curiosity #surrender #attachment

In Buddhism there is the concept of surrendering or non-attachment. For those of us from the west we sometimes flinch at this idea. We equate surrender and detachment it to giving up. People who have no goals. We sometimes call them hippies and assume they renounce everything, leave society and move to the mountains to become a monk. While I admit that sometimes that sounds great… it’s not very realistic. I have responsibilities… ones I cannot just walk away from. Not to mention goals and dreams. So how do we balance surrendering, detachment, and achieving our goals?
