HE WHO MUST BE TRUSTED

Apprenticeship to Love: The crooked path of sacred marriage (November 10, 2026)

TODAY'S QUESTION

Do you have the silence you need to begin to hear your own, deep, internal voice? Do you give others the silence they need to hear —and speak— their deep truth?

TODAY’S MEDITATION

The days are getting wetter, incrementally darker. The silence feels deeper. I’ve had dreams.

I know so much confusion.

But about this I am not confused: Being true to what this heart speaks, and practicing, to build my nervous system capacity to hold what this heart speaks, this is my way.

Also this: The wonder and the awe of Her radiance, Her flow: I only experience this when I stand here, yes even here in this dark and wet and cold and silent moment. To be this deep…

…

A man apologized recently, for “ghosting” me. And I thought, how sad, that we have to pathologize what is a very natural act: withdrawing from the incessant demands of communication into restorative silence.

Today, in my world, there is no “ghosting.”

There is no withdrawing with guilt. There are only people who are drawn to be together, or drawn to their own solitude.

The reasons why you may be drawn to me, or drawn to be alone, these are, really, none of my business.

What is my business? To be who I am. To learn to be who I am, and to learn how to be myself in a way that supports you being who you are.

And so I practice. Silence and solitude are necessary parts of my practice.

…

The woman I love needs solitude. Why she needs solitude, and silence, and distance —I can only imagine. I don’t know. And really, again, it’s none of my business.

My business is holding this heart open.

My business is to breathe into my heart, my body and create a stable and deep-rooted posture. My business is to be the man I am, the man who must be trusted, my posture enabling trust.

My business is to create and hold a safe space. Into this space, life and love flow, without doubt or hesitation. Into this space, the ones I love dance. They dance and tease and test, when and if they chose to be so free, here, for me to enjoy. For themselves to enjoy.

In solitude I learn to that I am enough.

In my solitude and in my long and deep breathing, I allow myself to be enough.
