Believing In Myself

Trusting myself has been difficult
Difficult to envision and to practice
No map or manual to show the way
Teachers all around showing the way in action and deed.

Life begins by trusting others.
In the earliness of growth in age and experience,
grasping for wordy trust in others,
emotional survival fails ending in tatters

Transferring trust in others
to trust in myself ~ belief in myself
where the soil of spirit is dry and barren
needing nourishment from laughter, joy and tears.

Stepping one tiny step forward
into a world unknown, breath held tightly
feels like stepping into an abyss
unaware of supporting unseen Universal Source

Breathing in the air of trust
Letting go of the air of any fear or anger
Believing in the ability to move forward, back or to the side
Knowing that decisions made in trust are true.

“Don’t allow pride, ego and insecurities of others stunt your growth.”

~Yvonne Pierre,  The Day My Soul Cried:  A Memoir
