    Trust and Healing Empty Trust and Healing

    ~~I have been thinking a lot about the human condition, or perhaps the lack of....it depends upon when you ask me....cuz
    timing is everything ! How many of us have seen or perhaps known
    someone with a beautiful soul, their spirit and heart gravely injured ?
    How could we help them to heal ? Trust is such a tiny word that carries
    enormous weight and significance . Today in this current time, TRUST
    has been all but abandoned by the wayside.....too many have lost their
    ability , and even more have given up hope. I speak from experience, I
    too have enormous trust issues that time has only magnified.....how can
    we move past and begin to heal ?


    What if the only point of reference one has, is disillusionment and
    betrayal.....how could one begin to realize a real life moment when it
    occurs ? After all we are a product of our environment, so if there is
    nothing to draw upon in ones past......how do we recognize something
    genuine ? Trust should be earned just like respect...but the question
    for me becomes how does one earn someone else's trust ? I am a simple
    person by nature....I speak my mind, am honest and possess both
    integrity and conviction. A friend of mine has all but isolated
    himself, what a waste of such a brilliant and beautiful soul ! Can he
    not see the sincerity in front of him ?.. I do completely
    understand....and it makes my heart hurt along with my pride. I want so
    badly to believe in something or someone.....and yet am held captive by
    apprehension. I question, have our instincts become so distorted and
    twisted that we lack the confidence to recognize sincerity when it
    appears ? I suppose that at some point we must take a
    risk........playing it too safe will get one no-where fast ! I prefer
    the attitude of : "Nothing ventured--nothing gained !" When you have
    already lost so very much in life....and literally have nothing else
    left to lose...why not ? Maybe we could be pleasantly surprised at the
    outcome.........We must be open and receptive to those rare and significant moments that life may bestow upon us.......and remember to take a chance.....Isolation can lead to despair.

    Yours In the fire....
