Trust is what I am able to do when I'm with another rather than what that other person says or does. If I can take risks, be more myself than I normally would be, then I do so because I trust the other person to accept who I am and "help" me be more myself. It's knowing there is someone "with" you to confront your scary places, there's someone there in an emotional way with the cool, wet washcloth to wipe your face and the wastebasket when you're throwing up :-) Trust is your "second" in the duel with yourself, someone who holds your valuable stuff for you while you get down and dirty.
