Sometimes I think I shouldn't be focused on getting closer to harmony, because I do experience it every now and then, but should be focused on making it last longer instead. <strong>@Uncle Joe</strong> — "Surrender" does have a slight negative connotation in general. There are many other translations of "surrender brings perfection", some of which feel more technically correct, but none of them are as poetic. A couple other takes on the same words: "To yield is to be preserved whole" —Chan "Yield and overcome." — Feng-English "Partial means whole" —Red Pine "What is bowed, becomes whole" —Duyvendak "Be humble and you will remain entire" —Ta-Kao I'm partial to the Feng-English one as well. <strong>@Darren</strong> — Thanks...glad you like the song. Becky Stark's voice really captivates with it's rawness and simplicity. I'd recommend looking up more Lavender Diamond. @Lucy — I like that quote because it doesn’t suggest changing what you have, but changing how happiness is found.

@Uncle Joe — “Surrender” does have a slight negative connotation in general. There are many other translations of “surrender brings perfection”, some of which feel more technically correct, but none of them are as poetic. A couple other takes on the same words:

“To yield is to be preserved whole” —Chan

“Yield and overcome.” — Feng-English

“Partial means whole” —Red Pine

“What is bowed, becomes whole” —Duyvendak

“Be humble and you will remain entire” —Ta-Kao

I’m partial to the Feng-English one as well.

"Surrender" sounds a bit negative. Maybe it really means making peace with whatever comes along. Congrats! You’re almost there.

Perhaps you are getting closer to finding that harmony..... “But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?”

Perhaps you are getting closer to finding that harmony.….
