Trust isn’t knowing that everything is going to be ok. Everything is not going to be ok. Everything is going to be scraped knees and spilt milk and shattered dreams. And you’re going to freaking love it (if you take time to reflect), because it’s an adventure. Because we’re so lucky.
Drawing on the picture as visual-metaphor, we are lucky that our relationships have a bike to ride, and clothes to shield the wind, and arms to cling. Our relationships are lucky to have material sustenance and physical closeness even as we whisk through the perils inherent to life.
This woman is brilliant. It’s not that the situation isn’t precarious–it surely is. It’s that no matter what happens her arms will be around his neck and his arms will be by her side. I like to think that if they’re tossed, they’ll be tossed together.

You feel this pain on your back you want to speak to her but you can’t–the words that mean– you cannot say, for they are the thoughts of your heart the play, you want to trust but you cannot because trust isn’t isn’t mutual therefore love and trust was not really real; realizing this first will help you heal –you can’t stand to think you rant, a charity, a weak work case, exposing your weakness–so let me impart this now: it is when you insist, she will not yield… so stop and close your shell when all you want to do is yell… like a temperamental printer, and Jerusalem’s’ wife strike
But why does desire rule and pull
like a ton–why does it blur and blunder intentions–a little bit more then a simple al-nafs mention!
Fall in love with mistress of Patience, a lengthly catpillar’s pillow–easing your heart into melancholy mellow
for now.
Ironic I know, aliment not cured, but be hearten for it is an aching process that pures.
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”
–Helen Keller
InshAllah my duas are with you and the rest the world.
