Prompt: All the world is made of faith, trust and Pixie dust.

****

I’m not sure if the world is made of faith, trust and Pixie dust, but I think humanity is built on it.

Most people believe or have faith in something - we just don’t all agree on what (which seems to be an issue for some people). I think faith goes further than just religion – which I am not a huge fan of. I think the world turns on our faith (and trust) in each other.

All of our connections are driven by our faith and trust in the people in our lives. It’s incredible fragile and delicate, but also surprisingly resilient – like a spider’s web. We spend our lives creating a network of people around us, which constantly needs to be nurtured, fixed, or rebuild depending on the ebb and flow of life – it’s our own, personal world. Evolving and changing – like us.

We are like busy little spiders, constantly spinning – no wonder I am tired all the time.

What we create can be beautiful if we catch it in the right light and take the time to appreciate it – usually in those quiet moments, just after dawn, after the dark and the cold. We see the friendships and relationships glistening like diamonds – a reminder of how important they are to us - or should be.

There are moments in my life I know I wouldn’t have survived if it had not been for those relationships. When I was at my lowest, I put my faith and trust in them, without truly realising I was doing so, or how vulnerable I was. I was able to lean on them. They gave me their strength when I had none of my own – willingly, gladly, without question – if that isn’t pixie dust, I don’t know what is.

It’s those moments that reaffirm my faith in humanity. The world needs its pixie dust.
