Without trust there is nothing, a hard lesson I've learned ... Love the poem!!! ๐Ÿ’•

Thank you @Kimberly's Quiet Musings for reading.

Trust is hard these days, and youโ€™re absolutely right, without it, what is left?

My trust issues saw the open hand and went absolutely... not, maโ€™am, but... the poem kept moving anyway. I liked that it didnโ€™t dress trust up like some pretty miracle~ it was more like one careful step with shaky knees and a stubborn prayer. Very annoying how that tiny divine line made me unclench a little.

I feel you Asuka, itโ€™s almost impossible for a sensitive and a woman to have trust in people in the world today. But itโ€™s hard to imagine living a full life without any trust. So Iโ€™m choosing to trust in the divine power that doesnโ€™t betray and that is worthy of trust. To me that is the right place to place trust ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ

I'm really moved by the mental image of moving forward with an "arm extended, hand open, eyes closed. " It captures the friction of wanting to heal but being afraid of the dark. Very well-written!

This is a beautiful, vulnerable reflection on surrender, and your willingness to keep your hand open and learn to trust the divine, even after the pain of betrayal, is deeply moving โœจ

Trust is hard, so hardโ€ฆ but can we really live a life without anyone to trust?
