TRUST. DO YOU HAVE IT?

I went to Target today and as I was walking across the parking lot a young blind woman was walking out with her stick, waving it back and forth in a methodical rhythm (if you've ever seen a blind person with their walking stick you know what I mean) she confidentially, actually near effortlessly, worked her way across the parking lot to the bus stop. I kinda watched in awe. She seemed so "trusting" of the system, trusting of her process and self assured. So strange and amazing. An odd grace to be honest. I felt a pang in my heart. Here I am with all of my senses working and I have a hard time trusting that the sun will come up tomorrow. I don't think I felt jealous but just an odd sense of admiration of her self assured trust of what she was doing. I remember being that trusting once. I miss that part of me. I think.
