We once had a kitten climb up underneath & behind the dashboard of our van. Little thing was wedged up in there so far I could barely see her. If she hadn't finally come out for a can of food, I'd have been taking the dash apart.

And would've ended up with a bucket of spare parts putting it back together again. With some of the lights not quite right. And leaning a little to the left. (pitched, for drainage, I call it).

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
