Trust

　　 The Doctor diagnosed my condition as a sinus infection and gave me a prescription for antibiotics. Knowing I would be well in ten days made me feel subjectively better instantly. Nothing changed but my faith in the knowledge that things would change.

　　 If  I can learn to apply this kind of trust to everything in my life, then I will feel better now and feeling better now will guide me into feeling better in my future. Of course, this is a hard concept to hold onto and an easy one to let slip out of my hands, but I just have to keep repeating it until it becomes my heartbeat, my heartbeat, my heart.

　　 "The older I get the more I trust in the law according to which the rose and the lily bloom."

-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Chapter 79)
