onto shore.

we can do this.
these things we go through,
we all go through.
we've been going through.
sometimes the reason is beyond our scope of vision.
but trust in yourself.
you have your own tests to take in this lifetime.

let's choose joy together.

"There is no insurmountable solitude. All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence, in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song - but in this dance or in this song there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our conscience in the awareness of being human and of believing in a common destiny."

-Pablo Neruda

Lately I have been thinking of fear and hope and their relationship to each other… Do you think to be fear… less is to be hope… less?-- to have no fear is to not have to be "hoping"... Would this transcend both and lead to a nonattached form of happiness or beingness? Is that the difference between 'trusting' and 'hoping'?

i see where you're going with that. 'hope' seems to throw your peace into some unknown future while 'trust' seems to be a more present pro-active peace.
