I've been thinking about trust lately.
Some people are able to give trust right away.
They simply overlook any past difficulties and blaze through relationships with an innocent heart.
How I envy those people. They look at the world with a child's eye. They love without reservation, without misgivings.
I'm not one to give trust freely.
It must be earned.
Guarded, protected.
Any little thing can tip the balance and I tend to run when trust is breached.
I dont want to, but the consequences of not trusting someone in my world can be huge.
Wouldnt it be great if we all looked at people like a 6 year old does?
A smile. A recognition. Maybe even a grubby hand holding mine.
Innocence lost.
When there is no more trust.
