Hello,

Friends.

I wanted to share something with you that I wrote recently on trust,

And it is inspired by J.

Ruth Gandler's The Book of Qualities.

So I invite you to please close your eyes,

Make yourself comfortable,

Take a couple of deep breaths,

Deep breaths,

And simply listen.

Trust.

When trust walks through the door,

She takes off her creamy brown soft leather shoes.

Trust lives with the shimmering rose gold glow of reverence in her heart.

When she hugs you and gently welcomes you into her embrace,

You feel the softness of her lavender silk dress,

And you relax as this delight co-mingles with a hint of the musky scent she has lightly dabbed behind her ear,

Perhaps a pure Turkish amber from the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul or a similar ambrosia-invoking blend.

You lean into her warmth and feel the strength of her heart as it beats in a steady rhythm,

Transporting you to Ghana,

West Africa,

And the watery drumming of smiling elders with ebony dark skin looking regal with their teeth a shiny white.

It doesn't matter that a few are missing.

Trust ushers you into a chamber,

The likes of which both stirs and soothes your soul.

Could this be the space,

That sacred space,

One you often frequent,

The space of eternal love,

The heart of being?

A breeze caresses your skin and the aroma of frangipani envelops you,

Again taking you into a vast yet utterly welcoming space of true abiding,

Oceanic and womb-like.

You settle,

Letting go into nothing and everything as your fingers rest into the palm of this guardian,

Her warm hand holding yours.

What a mystical gift to know that trust is here and she has your back.

So let's take a moment,

Friends.

Let's take a moment and receive everything that's been said and heard even deeper.

Let it saturate every cell and fiber of your being.

Of your body and being so that you can feel how trust is pulsing through you.

Allowing the intelligence of trust to find its way into the little cracks and crevices that are thirsty and hungry for trust.

Just by breathing and saying yes,

Trust is sinking in even deeper.

Thank you.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for your presence.
