  • Anya and Gael have to trust each other.

  • As acrobats in Cirque du Soleil they sometimes literally put their lives in someone else’s hands.

  • Trust is a confusing thing. It seems so simple, but when you try to pin it down, it can be elusive.

  • I think of the way that my body sits on a surface that's new to me, unknown.

  • And how my muscles remain tight, anticipating anything, and I'm constantly aware of that surface.

  • Over time, with familiarity, I can relax and start to lean back.

  • For many of us, that initial tension exists so much of the time.

  • We expend so much energy watching, and calculating,

  • trying to predict, reading signals in people,

  • ready for anything to change suddenly.

  • Preparing to be disappointed.

  • So much energy spent.

  • We talk about trust as something you build, as if it is a structure or a thing,

  • but in that building there seems to be something about letting go.

  • And what it affords us is a luxury. It allows us to stop thinking.

  • To stop worrying that someone won't catch us if we fall,

  • to stop constantly scanning for inconsistencies,

  • to stop wondering how other people act when they are not in our presence.

  • It allows us to relax a part of our minds, so that we can focus on what's in front of us.

  • And that's why it's such a tragedy when it's broken.

  • A betrayal can make you think of all the other betrayals that are waiting for you

  • in things you haven’t thought of, in people you rely on.

  • And you can feel yourself tightening up--bracing

  • and in the worst cases, you might resolve to trust no one.

  • But, that doesn’t really work.

  • Trust is your relationship to the unknown, what you can’t control.

  • And you can’t control everything.

  • And it's not all or none. It's a slow and steady practice of learning about the capacity of the world.

  • And it's worth it. To keep trying.

  • And it's not easy.  

  • Anya says that trust is like a fork, not one way, but many ways.

  • Physical, emotional, and maybe something else.

  • I almost imagine trust as these invisible hands that we stretch out into the world,

  • looking for someone to hold on to as we walk into the unknown future

  • Anya and Gael began practicing together as friends, and now they are a couple. It took time.

  • So who do you trust? And how can you grow it?

Anya and Gael have to trust each other.
