Can You Trust?

Art: Woman At The Window by Salvador Dali

Can you trust your life?

When anchors give way to stormy seas and rudders are overcome by lashing waves and you feel all at sea. In the long moments when you don't know what's going on or why. In the yawning space of uncertainty and through all the infernal wondering.

Can you trust the wait?

Bide your time in the shallows until the next tide. Unwring your hands and keep your head from spinning. Not look down nor break your neck craning back. Simply hold on while the chaos settles, its change takes hold and its inevitable movement feeds your growing tip.

Can you trust your soul?

She who knows that even if you limp through a scene or stumble through another, there is a greater story unfolding. She who has seen all the twists and turns yet to play out. She who nods at every contributor to a tale wholly unwritten and enchanting.

Can you trust yourself?

Listen to what your life whispers to you and act upon it. Turn down the volume on a baying world and tune in to the music of your spheres. Know that you know, feel what you feel, do what you do.

Trust your life.
Trust the wait.
Trust your soul.
Trust yourself.

Trust. Every heart vibrates to that iron string.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
