Question #13: Who can you trust?

My gut.
Especially when I'm taking good care of it, by tending to my microbiome. 
(For a great primer on this subject, check out the Interconnected docu-series.)

I also trust certain members of my nuclear family. You know who you are. 
Same goes for the members of my chosen family. You, too, know who you are. 
Thank you, dear ones, for being such good eggs. 

Then there are a few people that I wish I trusted, but alas, I don't, really, because they've been dishonest with me in the past. These are people in my immediate family; non-ditch-able folk. The lack of trust is traumatizing. I am in a space of prayer, healing, and growth with this--because the trust I want to live with isn't conditional, or dependent on any specific person showing up in any specific way.

Returning to an open stance is easier when I recall the deepest trust of all. I trust The Big Hand--that which others refer to as Great Spirit, Source, Force, God, Goddess, Life, Love, Presence. I trust my true Self which is inseparable; infinitely held, and holding.
