I am one of the last of a small tribe of troubadours, who still believe that life is a beautiful and exciting journey with a purpose and grace which are well worth singing about.
Faith is a kind of knowing; it is different from hope. My faith is that life is purposeful; of that I'm sure. There is a God, there is intelligence, there is consciousness. And behind all of this, there is incredible compassion.
The story fails but your faith in the importance of doing the story doesn't fail.
If you have a purpose in which you can believe, there's no end to the amount of things you can accomplish.
I don't believe it's all for nothing. It's not just written in the sand.
Any belief in Creators or Purpose is wishful thinking. And when you point out that perhaps ALL thinking is wishful, reactions of intense irritation give evidence that we are not dealing with logic but with faith.
First, believe in the world - that there is meaning behind everything.
I would rather work with five people who really believe in what they are doing rather than five hundred who can't see the point.
