I write a lot about figuring things out. I want to know. To see the road ahead. But I've hit a curve in my path around which I'm not privileged to see. I say 'I don't know' more than I could have ever anticipated.
I know someone who has a lot of certainty in her life now. I'd be lying if I said I did not envy her her certainty. Because if you don't have certainty you must muster up the faith to keep going around that curve, blind.
Faith: belief without proof.
What am I to believe? That is another difficult question because it suggests prior knowledge of that in which you have faith. So I keep living, getting up every morning, putting one foot in front of the other, hopefully achieving the necessary distance to get around the curve. And then what? I don't know.
Is there a AAA for life? I don't know.
..."it suggests prior knowledge of that in which you have faith."
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with metaphysics, but in my religion, we are taught to have faith that no matter what life throws at us, or what may be around the curve, God will be there to help us through it.
I wish.
ReplyDeleteMetaphysics teaches us that life is a series of lessons and we must learn these lessons. It also teaches us to have faith that the universe/ God knows what they're doing. And sometimes we have to be still, listen and just be.
