The freedom within trusting

We have so many experiences that stop us from trusting. Trusting in the good things. We actually have a long list of words we’ve been called, of painful situations, and even what the mind would classify as failures! The long list gives us one solution: Don’t trust, don’t believe in good scenarios, stay “in,” and don’t risk anything so nothing can hurt from now on. Okay, that’s fine. Try it. I did. And this is a grey place to be. Not black. Not white. Just humming in grey.

The truly brave people keep opening their hearts to trust again. Trust that everything will maybe work out in a beautiful way, even though you have tried the opposite a couple of times. Maybe, just maybe, it’ll become incredibly beautiful. More beautiful than you have tried yet! A little door has opened. Maybe you get scared of dreaming and trusting again, and you close the door. But you can’t really forget this door, and the light that shines in from the opening. And then you try opening it a little again. You maybe take one step in. The light requires you to feel the darkness you didn’t want to in the first place. And suddenly, you become confused! Why am I feeling pain as I start entering the light? This cannot be light when I feel pain here? WRONG! Light creates the space for everything.

And what happens next? I don’t know yet. Let’s see.
