{my attempt to capture 52 photos that represent trust – my word for 2011}.

i
look around
all around
up, down, sideways

waiting
hoping
that someone
anyone
(but not just anyone)
(only the right someone)
will tell me
what to do
(what to think, how to feel, who to be)

when i know
of course i know
i always know
the answer

the answers are there
hiding
(not hiding at all)
waiting
hoping
sitting in the silence

i hear them
of course i hear them
i have always heard them

my work
(the work of a lifetime)
is in finding the courage
to follow them

  1. i’m so with you on this one. Great post. We must trust and take the plunge. We much change our definition of failure. Mistakes are good, they help us learn. Thinking of you today, sending you reiki energy, and believing you can do anything you set your mind to.

  2. contradiction, reassurance!
    you *do* know. someone, the right someone is Be.A.Utiful YOU!!!!

    Such a beautifully written poem..and I love the image!!! Trusting is hard…

  4. Oh, I love this! So true…we have everything we need, and know everything we need to know, but we make it oh-so-complicated and spend our lives trying to trust those simple truths.

    Ah to find the courage….to truly risk it on our own intuition and the truth that dweels right smack in the center of ourselves even when “they” (whomever they may be) tell us how or why it won’t work, yes this is worth working for. Thank you for sharing YOUR truth here and providing gentle reminders to listen to our own. :)

  6. oh I really like this…
