Building Faith

More about Building Faith

A tide comes our way, what is new shifts.

We take steps in faith.

Brilliance will fade, we will change, taken for granted, and deals will break.

This is life, it takes two for love to survive. This will not be easy.

Choosing to be with 1 another is about working things out when it all goes wrong.

Gold to ash.
Ash to Gold.

When in the struggle adversity claws at your identity. Neither 1 of us a saint. When the chips are down would you still fight to stay? Life is about holding space, at times you must hold 1 another accountable. This can easily nurture hostility instead of nurturing our bond. Clearing the air will take humility.

The truth is all life, and all love is delicate at times. I hold this thought as a mantra. It allows me to remember what's important when heat, and pressure are in abundant supply.

If we make the rules, who is to say there cannot be an enduring renewal? Heartbreak will be found if you come to expect that is what is going down.

When the game is about expecting to be left heartbreak can become a drug. It allows you to feel something real, something raw, it reminds you of freedom, and love that's lost.

Patterns are sticky once formed, they become shadows that plays on the mirror. You reflect what you see. An anti-hero in all of us. You can't outwit introspection, there's no fooling the mirror.

Ghosts will be resurrected. Patience must be given to lay them to rest.

When the going is easy trouble is often found, and made. No 1 is to blame. Intensity is required to help settle empty space.

Not everything could be known before stepping in to traffic. Knowing what 1 is made of is known only when the abyss stares us in the face.

Scheming is natural. Allowing 1 to rebuild faith is rare, more complex. Freedom to be who you are isn't always compatible with making your way with another.

Reconciliation is the path to renewing magic. World building together, crafting stories, making time set aside for play.

Choice makes for complexity, patterns echo, convulsion is inherent in everyone's way.

What I am sure of is getting to know someone isn't for a time then you're through, it is a life long pursuit. We are two evolving beings. Allowing another to stay in alignment with you is a choice made everyday.

It must be sought, a discipline, an art. I know for certain if I were to go back a year, I would happily head down this trail all over again.

Forever, Ever, and Evermore,
Aaron Baker

Post Script: This trail isn't easy, nothing ever worth while is. I have known the delicate nature of life, and of care. I am grateful for what I have received. I continue to honor my self, this vow I trust, and care for whom I love.
