Today I experienced a moment that shook me to my core. I was cleaning my house when I heard a commotion coming from my office. When I got there, I saw Kai —my white husky— with a Toti (crow) in his mouth. It was a moment of pure instinct — chaos, and life pulsing at the edge of something sacred.
I rushed to hold Kai, to prevent the worst. The Toti managed to break free, but instead of flying toward the door, it walked deeper into the house. And then… it flipped onto its back. As if to say: “I surrender. I have no way left to defend myself.”
It didn’t fight. It didn’t cry. It simply gave in. And that — was what saved it.
Reflection
There are moments when something enters our life uninvited — an emotion, a person, a memory. And sometimes, our first instinct is to protect ourselves, like Kai. Bite. Clench. Control.
But this scene showed me something else. That not everything unexpected is a threat. That some surrenders are not defeat, but sacred acts of trust. And that when something in you —or someone before you— surrenders… maybe it didn’t come to die, but to be held.
Symbolic Interpretation
This scene felt like a portal between forces: the instinct that bites to protect (Kai), and the tenderness that holds without harm (me). The Toti didn’t come to die — it came to show me something. Its surrender wasn’t weakness: it was an act of trust, a message made flesh.
Sometimes, what enters our life without permission doesn’t come to harm us. It comes to be seen. It comes to teach us that some surrenders… save.
Kai represented the force I summon when I defend myself. The Toti, the fragile part that longs for space. And I… was the in-between — the one who chooses not to repeat harm, the one who offers shelter to what arrived uninvited.
This scene reminded me: some things don’t want to escape — they want a place to stay without fear. And surrender, sometimes, is the most alive way to keep going.
If this message finds you…
If there’s something in you that’s surrendering… don’t name it weakness. See it. Hold it. Sometimes, what surrenders… is simply asking to be saved.
