all life long

finding the part in ourselves

we can trust

after the one we had trusted

all life long

turned out to be wrong

can be a bit of a puzzle

stupid

when the sensation of being

permanently misunderstood

turns into the experience of oneself

as plainly stupid

a dead end has been reached

a barrier broken down

when the conviction of

being reliable

turns into a pitfall of

unreliability

trust can be placed

where trust is returned by

faith

wondrous

how wondrous

when

what seemed impossible

suddenly becomes

obvious

when what was considered treachery

suddenly becomes

the covenant of faithfulness

but natural

when time has come

to go

separate ways

a certain sadness

is but natural

perhaps even grief

for all the crumbled

dreams

what was lost

when everything is lost

everything is anew

possible

all that matters is

whether

the focus is on

what was lost

or

what has become

possible

strategy

to let wisdom

take the lead

has more to do with trust

than

with understanding

more to do with surrender

than

with strategy

more to do with insight

than

with calculation

free

no longer to feel

responsible

for everything

sets us free

to carry the responsibility

which is truly ours

with grace
