On Trusting

In order to let Life flow, we have to Trust.

We have to Trust, even when the outside seems untrustworthy. We have to Trust because if we don't, we dim our light - and when many lights get dimmed, the world starts to shrink.

Yes, we may get hurt, disappointed and betrayed. And when that happens, we may fall to our knees and clutch our guts, doubled over with the pain, the hopelessness, the deep pit of loss.

Yet, it will be better to fall to our knees because of the sweetness of our vulnerability than to live hardened and impermeable to the deliciousness of life.
