The Predicament of Faith
Faith - a simple five letter word. But hard for the mind to grasp. For the mind believes in what it can see, experience, explain. And all the rest for it is non-existent or untrue.
It is easy to say one has Faith when all is visible to the eyes. But in reality, Faith only means something when one feels that they have been cast into a forest where no light can penetrate. One doesn't know where one is going - for one cannot see a path.
These are the times that the faint glimmer called Faith is the only guide - that there is an issue - that after the night ends, the day will be bright and everlasting.
