Faith.

Today, I felt like a kid again.
I missed the adrenaline.
Chillax'd.

One day, a teacher had an exercise for his students to try.
They were to stand, facing away from their classmates, and fall backward, relying on another student to catch them.
Most of them were uncomfortable with this, and cannot let go for more than a few inches before stopping themselves.
They laughed in embarrassment.

Finally, one student, a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl whom almost always wears bulky white fisherman sweaters, crosses her arms over her chest, closes her eyes. leans back, and does not flinch.

For a moment, everyone was sure she is going to thump on the floor.
At the last instant, her assigned partner grabs her head and shoulders and yanks her up harshly.

"Whoa!" several students yelled. Some clapped.
The teacher finally smiles.
"You see," he says to the girl, "you closed your eyes.
That was the difference.

Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel.
And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too- -even when you're in the dark.
Even when you're falling."

Trust me (:


Peace and love,
Lewis
