A trust in life, in others, in ourselves should be something that just forever unfurls and is safe, the most natural of progressions, but it is so hard when your trust has been violated, even once, and we do so often nurture the trust in those we love than in our relationships with ourselves. And hiding makes me feel sometimes like I have something I need to hide, when really it comes out of fear and self-judgments usually. I'm so glad too that you posted this. We seem to need to be reminded regularly that trust is our birthright.Alex Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109059018269508607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-1156190200483026682006-08-21T12:56:00.000-07:002006-08-21T12:56:00.000-07:00thank you for trusting us with your inner most wit...thank you for trusting us with your inner most with this post :) <BR/><BR/>trust is a complicated virtue to uphold. there is a lot of grey area, and it has the ability to render you powerless in it's grasp. you're so right that hiding sometimes is the path of least resistance. but here, we are all warriors for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-1156183645013573652006-08-21T11:07:00.000-07:002006-08-21T11:07:00.000-07:00Phew!

That's so tragic, I know it, but I find myself repeating what I've learned as well. Hide it and just buck up because no one really cares. And that's partly true, too, because we've become such a self-absorbed society.<BR/><BR/>I need to think about this for a while longer.<BR/><BR/>-love-Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11925056414868207252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-1156122824308549582006-08-20T18:13:00.000-07:002006-08-20T18:13:00.000-07:00Dar...I have been burnt very badly by trusting the...Dar...<BR/>I have been burnt very badly by trusting the one person I should never have.

When these three things happen to you and not necessarily all at the same time--we forget to trust and you are so right hiding is the worst possible thing you can do.<BR/><BR/>I have hidden from things that the teachers taught me and I most definitely destructed myself in the process.<BR/><BR/>You are so right though, when it comes to your children---you do burst into action. So my pondering is why do I not burst into action when it is about me? Fear...no trust...etc..<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post, you are awesome girl!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-1156065400135494112006-08-20T02:16:00.000-07:002006-08-20T02:16:00.000-07:00Dar... you are SO RIGHT.Absolutely.Without trust w...Dar... you are SO RIGHT.<BR/>Absolutely.<BR/>Without trust we have nothing.
