Acquiese (with a certain sadness)

It is with certain sadness that I add this word that describes my heart at this moment, a place where I reluctantly accept a change.

I acquiese with limited understanding.

The word strikes a minor chord. But it also has a softness about it ... the softness of surrender that is somewhat reluctant.

Often reluctance swells from a lack of understanding; or at times, from understanding too well.
