trusts, absolutes and greys


When does a person succumb and start to trust?
Is trust something that's a given?
Innocent until proven guilty?
Or, is trust something earned?

I think one begins to trust others when they truly begin to trust themselves.
Or, when life hands them a situation that is so clear, so bold, so obvious,
that there's nothing else to do than to come to a conclusion.

We might not know the source of the message or its meaning, but we know.

There ARE times in life when we know.
There are times when there's nothing else to do than to believe:
It is at those moments (call them epiphanies, if you will) that
one knows a piece of art is right, that a situation is right (or wrong), that one can no longer doubt.

Don't you think?
