I want to rethink 'surrender' as an active verb.

Control and surrender have to be kept in balance. That's what surfers do - take control of the situation, then be carried, then take control. In the last few thousand years, we've become incredibly adept technically. We've treasured the controlling part of ourselves and neglected the surrendering part.

Why indeed must ''God'' be a noun? Why not a verb - the most active and dynamic of all.
