FAITH. faith in what? who? why? what are my own beliefs? does my mind grasp onto footholds to connect me to that which i cannot see? does it have to be "God"? does it need to be spelled with a capital "G"? does it have to be anyone in particular? i could make a list of examples a thousand strong that i don't believe in. finding the little pieces of dust that move me and inspire me is a harder, longer voyage. my brain tells me what are lies and what hurts but hesitates to lead me in a brighter direction. there is more to all this than just existence. there is a driving force that keeps me stable, connected, safe, and on my feet. it is just further than arms reach, but its there, surrounded by others, by warmth, by chants and gleeful laughter. i follow this path as often as i can make the trek, and every now and then i have faith in myself, if only because other people tell me that they do too...
