Trust

A mother holds her infant to her breast, sucking safely; its fears are laid to rest. A primal link bonding mother and child; a sharing of hearts, instinctive and wild. A soldier huddles in the stench of death, determined to fight to his final breath. Lives rely on his bravery today, and despite his fears, he's resigned to stay. A dad encourages his toddler son, holding his hands till his first step is won. With his arms outstretched, he coaches him on as he waddles forth, inhibitions gone. A virgin bride feeling anxious inside, indulges temptations she's long denied. While in their bed, she surrenders her will to her husband and love's intimate thrill. A common thread stitches these souls in place: an ethereal bond; time can't erase. Believe what you will on matters discussed: Humanity's heart has evolved through trust.

This is stunning writing Emile, so true and well said, our human existence from beginning to end relies on trust, in the end we trust God will do what's right!
