There's Nothing Quite Like a Real Book

Trust

'the way of trust is a movement into
obscurity,
into
the undefined,
into
ambiguity,
not into some
predetermined,
clearly delineated
plan
for the future.
the next step
discloses itself
only
out of a discernment
of God acting in
the desert
of the present moment.
the reality
of naked trust is
the life of the pilgrim
who leaves what is
nailed down,
obvious,
and secure,
and walks into the
unknown
without any
rational explanation
to justify the decision
or
guarantee the future.
why?
because God has
signaled the movement
and offered
his presence
and
his promise.'
