So f...ing marvellous to read your words in this joyous piece from you today.
After all the s..t you\'ve put yourself through to arrive here released from the chains which dragged at you from the past.
I\'m full of joy for you and yours m8. And i\'m really looking forward to hearing about your tears of joy when you first hold your new baby.
Just be happy, you so deserve it.

The beginning of this reminded me of my old hypno birthing cd. It was so soothing.
You always brighten my dark days Dan 💜

I respect but don\'t trust

For truth to have any value or meaning, it must first be earned...
nevertheless, it is not hard to understand your point of view... trouble is, points of view become skewed & clouded when under stress..................... N

I respect but don\'t trust
Nafis Light said:
To some extent, I could relate this to myself. I mean \"respect but don\'t trust\"?
Personally, I have like a couple of people who had a deep relation with me before...but they betrayed their words and no longer close with them.
I have accepted the fact that I have completely forgiven myself and them and everything that happened between me and them in the past and possibly in the future...but TRUSTING them is a completely different matter.
In a huge way, they have to earn that trust.
Suddenly as I typed this, it suddenly occurred to me that that is what it means that \'Trust Is To Be Earned\'.

I respect but don\'t trust
dusk arising said:
Wisely in your first words today you dispel a truth which most people simply miss. \"Truth has to be earned\" is not true because it is not as simple as that. Truth is something a person gives! If you cannot give trust, it will never be earned, you will not allow anyone to earn your trust. Thinking of trust this way it becomes quite a different subject. Sometimes you will meet dogs who cannot give trust until a barrier is broken down and then the GIVE their trust to you. If that dog is really damaged you might never have it\'s trust.
So trusting is your own descision. For you Dan i suspect that in your early years the ones you looked to for succour and support were sometimes supportive but also abusive. If that\'s the case then you learned that people are not always nicey nicey, they can turn into devils unexpectedly. Actually we all have some of that inside our make up because we all have our own garbage we carry but mostly people are good, you already know this.
My viewpoint is to trust people for what they are rather than for what they could be. I\'d like people to be perfect but of course they are not so, although i appear to be a very open person, I am only as open as I feel safe to be.
I\'m not perfect, you\'re not perfect, we both know our imperfections. The world and people are not perfect.
But think about how you love your kids. How much you trust them. You trust them to be what they are, young people who will make mistakes, who although you worship them, a part of you knows they will let you down sometimes, but thats what they are.... and you feel safe loving and trusting them for the people you know them to actually be not the perfect beings they (or any of us) will never be.
Sorry m8, this turned into a bit of a rant.
Your revealing, soul searching writing is amazing Dan.

Trust is so wonderful when it is there but once it is broken it is so hard to get back. You are getting there Dan the times of your doubts are getting fewer, you WILL get to that place where all is good as I know it is within you. Look at the good in your life, it is there - trust me.

Walk your path well
dusk arising said:
Your fourth line contains a truth which i truly wish more could see. There is so much within us Dan which we will not find until we begin to look for it. It\'s plain to see for your readers that you have found a great deal of wisdom from within with maybe a little prompting from elsewhere when you uttered \'help\'.
A great and encouraging piece from you today m8.

kevin browne said:
This is encouraging for the readers who don\'t walk their path well. Sometimes when people see you doing well they may just attempt to jump alongside you and sometimes that can be a distraction, however, there is none of this through your enlightenment to heal your self-worth. Nice writes to make people reflect on their lives...

Each of those blocked paths in our lives do get opened and as we go through the blockage it adds to our experience and our wisdom increases, as yours is doing all the time Dan.

Keep your fingertips flowing and dipped in the river of positivity and it will lift you up, lift you down or anywhere else in the world you wan\'t to go. I felt a touching in my heart that I will reflect on intrinsically I have no doubt about that. Your work brings hearts to the masses so keep doing what reflects in your heart to heal, love all and never forget the importance of your life, your poetry and yourself...

No, we don\'t all have to play the blagging game. Best advice is - when you\'ve nothing to say, say nothing.
Sometimes when theres a hard job to be done our mind enters a turmoil. Funny thing is though, once that job is done our mind returns to where it was before.... with just a little bit more self knowledge onboard.

Our life within us is the one we have and your life has become so good that it is a delight that you share it with us all, thank you.
And what is wrong with five o\'clock in the morning, I am often up then, if i am still in bed at six o\'clock (in the morning) I\'ve had a lay in!
