There will always be questions, sadnesses, periods of flu-like agnosticism (as Madeleine L'Engle used to call it). I believe these are important and necessary. Choosing is what's it about. Is there a better way out there? I haven't found one. Even if there is nothing beyond this life, I still choose to put my feet into the prints left by that rabbi over two centuries ago. Thanks so much for your honesty here - very refreshing and really helpful.dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991172981000479793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335087494258260106.post-61637046320106240952013-08-06T19:15:34.039-04:002013-08-06T19:15:34.039-04:00As a very wise guitar player / music store entrepr...As a very wise guitar player / music store entrepreneur once proclaimed so incredibly at a small group 7 or so years ago once said: "I don't think it is possible to separate the faith element as a real choice we have to make in this journey." (possibly poorly remembered/paraphrased) That statement has stuck with me with astounding resonance throughout these years. When faced with all the reasons why the sky may actually be blue, I still choose to believe the possibility that it may be any number of colors and shades that i have not the ability to see with my own eyes. Faith is an active denial of reasonable evidence which humbles the soul and prepares the heart for good things.
