Far Beyond Words

Semana Santa (Holy Week) procession in Seville, Spain.

Belief should not be the sum-total of an attitude
or stance.  It should not be a thing in itself,
that freezes its believer and neutralizes his will.

Believing is not just an answer, but an asking.
It is a temporary commitment to an unknown quantity
that holds as long as it serves a vital purpose
and does not stifle the generation of other things
that are also necessary and good.
