Beneath the Surface
“Surrendering” depicts milkweed seed pods in late summer, autumn approaching. Milkweed grows abundantly here in the hill country of Colorado, and I’ve always been so drawn to it. There’s something about the dying-yet-wide-open look of it, the way it blooms, then goes to seed, and then… lets go.
Our journeys of becoming require this of us every so often: we “bloom,” and then let go… In this going dormant, this season where maybe we’re less obviously productive, where the beauty or impact of who we are is less visible to most, less “at the surface” - the process goes underground, but it’s no less real.
It takes a unique eye to see the beauty in dying milkweed, just as it takes a unique soul - sometimes our own, sometimes another’s - to see or sense the beauty in our process when the growth is mostly occurring in hidden places inside us. God’s hand is still shaping us, even in the dark. Our formation hasn’t stopped. We can trust the process (both in ourselves and in others) even when it’s harder to see it, because the One who designed this cycle is trustworthy.
This piece is for you who need a reminder that even when your growth and beauty are less outwardly apparent, they are real, deep, and true.
