The Long Surrender--not only is it a beautiful album by Over the Rhine (please give it a listen, you won't regret it! Seriously, it's going to be on repeat in my room for the next 788 days...it's that good!) but it's also where I've been and where I'm going. The path of surrender has taken me down a rather circuitous route, and today as I am preparing to make what feels like a pretty crazy decision I am both confused and at peace. I hope to one day look back on this journey and be able to recognize the purpose of each detour--to see how each road block equipped me for the next--the next step, the next path, or sometimes the next road block.
Until I arrive at the point of understanding, I'll keep moving forward.
Today, it's the long surrender, the road less traveled, and possibly Mongolia for me.
