Maria,  my Belgium sister has chosen to be absent from the internet for a while now,  and…on going.  But….she sent an email in connection to Fear.   She wrote/writes this:   "Look close by the self and ask,  can I/will I put TRUST in place of it?"

i read this and there was a sudden rush of Truth…a sudden rush of the sense that this is Right.   Trust.

and i hold the word Care Full y.  Trust.   and i do not want to give it any "pictures",  any description,  any form…

just the word.  Trust.   To say the word softly out loud and hold it in the palm of my hand.  Trust.  and   then,  after some moments,   press it against my face.  Gently.   softly.  but with a firm sureness.   press it against my face.

    Carried the last post with me all day yesterday, tending my little garden, looking at my little Hopi sunflower. Petals are getting ragged but the center is forming, becoming and this was all wrapped up in thoughts of Emrie.
    And then I read this from caring, loving and wise Maria: the word Trust and it all fits: How there was some fear before Emrie was born and how you all trusted that no matter what, all would be as it should be, she would be a part of it all, she would be fine and grow and thrive. Emrie was meant to come to all of you.
    Children respond to what presents, to what surrounds, to the love, caring and patience that can be felt when they ask questions over and over and know when the answer is true and because of this, they try and strive and know when it works and when it needs more work.She is learning but oh how she is teaching as well…

    I will remember this – replacing Fear with Trust. I started getting familiar with trust because of my meditation timer. I kept peeking at the time remaining until I started practicing “Trust the Timer.” This simple change got me thinking about Trust and how it is both powerful and gentle.

    Time we agree on and designate
    to Trust the Time?
    and everyOne and anyOne who wants to could join too?
    each in their own way, in whatever way?

    you there in Maine, me here in California and maybe
    Maria might…there in Belgium and maybe Marti in New
    Mexico, and Peggy McG on the road where ever she is
    and and and and Michelle…

    I would like to try this, too. I am notoriously bad a sticking to schedules, and in all honesty, anything a.m. may be more than I can manage (unless it’s before 4 a.m. PDT). But a 5 minute meditation on trust seems very doable, reasonable, and even necessary

    maybe if it’s only in your heart
    that would also work, right?
