Have Faith

"Have faith," said the mute man,"
that I will one day speak."
"Have faith," said the eyes of the blind man,
"that I would one day see."
"Have faith," heard the deaf man,
"for I will hear you sing one day."

"Have faith," said the cripple,
"that my legs will work once more."
"Have faith," said the impatient one,
"that I shall learn to wait."
"Have faith," said the outcast,
"that one day I’ll fit in."

"Have faith," said the abuser,
"that one day I’ll no longer hit."
"Have faith," said the ‘nutcase,’
"that one day I’ll be sane."
"Have faith," say the dying.
"for soon our suffering shall end."
"Have faith," say the living,
"For there’s a reward at the end."

"We have given you these gifts,
of our wisdom,
near and far.
Now it is a question
of the challenges you’ll face.

Heed our advice,
and you will make it through.
Just heed our advice.
Remember, I believe in you."

I don’t know. I guess it popped into my head because I’m thinking about Jason, and he’s forever bugging me about having more faith in myself. He’s supposed to call later on today, and let me know if a meeting is going to be set up tonight. I’m bringing a tape recorder, and the cell phone. At the very least. Right now, I don’t really care about myself. I care about him. I’m worried about him. Yeah, he syas not to, but that’s never worked before, it’s not gonna work now. I just . . . I just want to know that he’s okay, and that something will change, if he does remain in that house. I didn’t want him to go back . . . He promised me . . . I promised him . . . And I can’t help feeling in some way, like I’ve let him down.

I just surfed in, and I don’t know much about the situation, but I’ve been reading over your diary some (and some of the people who’ve left notes) and I can offer something. People have to make their own decisions. For whatever reason, he chose to head back. What you need to do is trust him. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders, and it seems like he’s had enough of being mistreated. [Swimming In Circles]

Not enough letters… anyway, you need to trust him. Your insecurities look a lot like you’re having trouble trusting. From what I can read, there’ve been reasons why, but that doesn’t mean you don’t give trust. So try to trust him and have faith that he’s trying to make the right choices. Maybe that’ll help you, too. [Swimming In Circles]
