The Art of Trust

The Art of Trust

There is a moment in every journey
when the map begins to fade.
The lines blur,
the landmarks shift,
and the path you once followed
seems to dissolve beneath your feet.

You stand there, unsure;
eyes searching, heart open,
wondering if you’ve lost your way.

But this too,
is part of the sacred rhythm.
The path of the heroine
is not built of certainty,
but of trust.

Trust that what leaves creates space.
Trust that what feels like an ending
is only an unseen unfolding.
Trust that the earth beneath you
still knows your name.

Sometimes life takes away your direction
so that you can remember
how to walk guided by the pulse within.

Breathe.
Stay.
Listen.

You are being carried,
even when you cannot see where to.

Let the unknown hold you.
It has been waiting to show you the way.

Reflection

Where do you feel resistance to trust right now?
What would happen if you stopped trying to control the next step,
and simply allowed yourself to be carried?

Write down one place in your life
where you could soften, even just a little.

Ritual

Sit quietly with your palms facing up.
As you inhale, whisper:

I release what I cannot hold.

As you exhale, whisper:

I trust what I cannot see.

Repeat until your body softens
and your breath finds its rhythm again.

Then close your eyes for a moment longer,
and feel that you are already home,
right here, in this breath.
