trust is the foundation of existence

trust is the foundation of existence.

if i think therefore i am, i am aware i am.

and all else is also. only by trust do i know the creation and myself.

i used to practice religious rituals to exercise a relationship with the creator and the exercises always took me into a closer awareness of the brutal organic creation of being.

i not only think.

i am a being .memory also part of my being.

organic life is dependent on a physical engine, requiring great maintenance for an active life style.

presence is engaging the daylight. eating, walking and talking.

over time i replaced the practice of prayer with the practice of being. being is the acknowledgement of the trust relationship i exist in with the creation.

in my experience the practice of prayer is good training for the practice of being. the practice of prayer informs faith. faith is different than trust. faith is for deepening the understanding of the relationship with the creator. eventually the bargaining that takes place with prayer gives way to the understanding of grace. by the exploration of grace, my experience informed me

that :

the birds wing beats the air 

while grace guides it to a waiting branch.

everything is in place for a being to be.

so be it.
