strength and trust

"when energy leaves you in any way except in strength and trust, it cannot bring back to you anything but pain and discomfort. an authentically empowered human being, therefore, is a human being that does not release its energy except in love and trust."

several days ago i received these words written by gary zukav, and i have read this small paragraph again and again. i continue to read it several times a day. these words are changing me at an elemental level.

this has become the framework for observing my own choices and actions.

holding up the concept of "trust" next to something i am about to say or do gives me enlightened contemplation. am i doing this in strength? am i doing this in trust? i search for words to describe how poignant and piercing this is for me.

this has become a beautiful practice...
