Faith Sustainer

The Good Doctor described her job as sometimes being a 'faith sustainer' when people find their way through the dark maze of life.
It is in these dark shadows of the hedges that we can come up against twists, turns and dead ends. Mazes are easy to navigate though. The tip when you are next in a maze is to always turn left. Left will bring you the center or out depending on the puzzle at hand.
This advice does not however pertain to life.

At our darkest moments we all need a 'faith sustainer.' Think of the people in your life who hold your hand when you pull the shard of glass from your heart or the nails from your hand. The one who says it will all be alright, because they actually believe that it will be. The ones who help you to see the situation for what it is and what it could be.

All we need is one significant person to believe in us, they see the light inside and switch it on occasionally. I have this in my life many times over. The Good Doctor, Blessed Seraph, The Piscean Princess, The Grecian Goddess, The Contessa, Fish Girl, Gandalf, Domonique the Wonderful. All are 'faith sustainers' to me and I hope I have been to them in some way.

I made a decision to only have people in my life who add value. I would rather have one authentic exchange that a thousand small pleasantries.
"Tell the truth, tell the truth, tell the truth" says Elizabeth's best friend in Eat, Pray, Love.
The truth will emerge regardless. It cannot be suppressed. When you do not tell the truth you live in the maze, trying to emerge into the light but knowing that you are going around in circles. Turn left and go to the light.

People always show themselves to you eventually as they are in their heart. Relationships are for a reason, a season and a lifetime. Being able to recognize which one the true gift.
