Two Kinds of TrustThere are two kinds of trust:One kind is when I hear, "Try this?" And it feels just fine. I say, "Ok." And I just try it. Maybe it works out. Maybe not. But it all feels comfortable. The other kind is when I hear, "Try this?" And it feels quite wrong. I say, "NO!" But then I say, "Ok, I'll trust you and try it anyway." If it doesn't work out I may trust less. Two different kinds of leap of faith: The first one is for those times When I won't do a certain thing Unless I get help From a trusted friend. The second one is for those times When my intuition Has led me astray And I need to find the strength Inside myself To do something I don't want to do. Both kinds of trust are needed. I've got to remember To give myself permission To work with them both. |
