Truth About Trust
Start with transparency, no matter the painful truth. It's best to approach from a position of clarity; however, Erik Erikson defines the first stage of psychosocial development as the area in which we develop our understanding of trust versus mistrust. This becomes the basis of our understanding of our relational environment, because, as Dick Schwartz later defines, it is the psychosocial environment in which we develop relational understanding within ourselves and the environment around us.

THE SHOP THAT SOLD TOMORROWS
THE SHOP THAT SOLD TOMORROWS I found a little shop one night, with no name upon the door, Its dusty shelves held tomorrows, hundreds, maybe more. Some futures shimmered bright as gold, some faded into grey, Some vanished when I reached for them, then quietly slipped away.

The Smell of His Hands After Rain
It starts with the hands. Always the hands. Not the face—I tried to forget the face, and mostly succeeded. The eyes were the second thing to go, then the voice, then the particular way he laughed at his own jokes, waiting for you to join in. I let them dissolve in the ordinary way of things, the way sugar forgets it was once a cane, the way water forgets the cloud.
