Trust is …
- the subject of several of my previous blog posts (here, here, here, and here),
- the basis of the first stage in Erickson’s eight stages of psychosocial development,
- difficult to come by these days,
- helping people around the world deal with the devastation to France’s Notre Dame Cathedral, and
- according to Yogi Tea, the union of two things.
Intelligence and integrity tell me that trust is many different things to many different people.
Trust is something I felt yesterday, when I walked near our home during the day and then performed two of my original songs at an Open Mic in Boston in front of a very noisy, post-Boston Marathon crowd.
Trust is important if you perform in front of people.
Trust is part of expressing gratitude, so I trust you will accept my thanks for visiting my blog, here and now.

You handle crowds quite graciously, Ann! Good performance here, my friend. Not even dropped glasses in the post-Marathon crowd can deter your voice.
Thank you, my trusted friend.
It was wonderful that you trusted a few people to listen, and they did, while you dedicated your set to all those who kept talking throughout it.
Thank you for this wonderful comment, my trusted friend.
Thinking of Erickson I am governed by basic trust – that means I can get disappointed, but it is nevertheless far more comfortable than basic mistrust
I basically trust you, Derrick.
Trust is hard earned and ease to lose and break and something some people give to easy
You have definitely earned my trust, Joanne.
All of your scenery pictures make me think you are a busy person! I trust you are resting between adventures!
I am resting while reading this comment from a trusted and adventurous fellow blogger, Claudia.
You are so great in front of an audience, Ann. The talking would completely shut me down, and you just trust the energy your are giving is being received where it is intended to do good. I was very quiet and listened with great interest. 🙂
I trust the energy that you are giving, my good friend.
Trust is Harley
I trust that you are correct, Maria.
