"The thing is, whether we're talking about the existence of God, and the Burning Bush, the fishes and loaves, and the parted Red Sea, or about the color of the sky, or my latest hair cut, the entire world is based on four things: perception, accepting something to be fact, having the faith that what you believe to be truth actually is, and knowing when to hold strong to your faith and when to explore other realms of the truth."
I wrote this quote in June of 2008. In the moment I reread it tonight, I was impressed with my younger self. To think about and disect the complexities of faith, a person almost must have at least a slight belief in a greater existence. I won't begin to articulate my faith, or what it's in, at 12:30 AM, but I will say it's here, somewhere, that I believe humans are on this planet for a healthy, positive, communal, planet-friendly reason and that, right now, we are not living up to our beautiful human potential. In fact, quite the opposite, we are probably self-sabotaging our entire existence. But more on that later - after I've slept, showered, and had my coffee.
