Wondering About Trust

Trust is given, a shape of one's soul.
It means, "I believe
this person will not let me down.”
“He means what he says,” trust says,
and there is more. "He means well for me."
Still more.

Trust requires relationship.
Relationship enables, builds, strengthens, shapes.

No trust, no relationship. No relationship, no trust. Chicken and egg and who's on first.

It is primal, as in primary, this thing that fuels
all else. Zeal for the day insists there is good
to be had and maybe I will have it. That is trust.

Trust says it is so and then acts accordingly. And it never gives up.

This is trust. Once broken may never return.
Once crushed, never again given.
When lost, perhaps never found.

Why?

We are wounded and can't bear the risk.
Trust always takes a chance and the healthy soul
is one learning to trust. The more it trusts,
the more whole it will be.
