LIVE LIKE A TREE

No faith not having a religion or a direct recognizable spiritual path yet just sitting quietly is sufficient. The quiet mind seems to connect to a something, not really a something, it's not tangible, it's a feeling like no other feeling.
Then this trust issue. At an early age prayer did not seem to answer and bring a solution, it was hard to believe in an unseen deity and a figure of any deity just seemed to be subject to life and death just as any mortal.
For years on end it was as if the journey of Life was a chance with destiny and being often called an atheist, a heathen, you must have faith and trust, you are being tossed about by the vagrancies of Life, mere flotsam and jetsam, a leaf blown wildly by the winds of fortune with no purpose, ambition or direction.
Yet at times there was direction, an inner knowing from the unknown wilderness, the utter desolation in the quiet mind came a gentle warm covering inside / outside / everywhere this is the action or direction to implement.
A feeling of absolute appropriateness and going against conventional wisdom, this was a kind of faith and trust. A sort of faith and trust in the unknown. Maybe this is the missing key to the God of many religions and faith.
Perhaps the trust and faith have been there all the while yet not recognized by others and Self. For trust in the unknown needs no house of prayer or supplication, it is sitting still, quietening the waves of panic and fear, passion and the need for safety, no festivals to celebrate, no family which means all are family, it means no attachments which is attached to all----how so?
By being a floater, a surfer in the unknown, surfing on no apparent surface, one rides the invisible and all opposites are blended into a unity, so hot/cold, light/dark come together to be an unknown where the surface to surf is provided.
Hard to comprehend?
Then let go into the wilderness of the empty mind and surf when arriving.
This is the trust of No Trust and the Faith of No Faith.
Hard one says. Not really if one views hard and soft as opposites!
