More than anything else,
stress is what kills us.
And the reason we have stress
is that we don’t have faith.
It is hard to be stressed
when we have FAITH
that no matter what happens,
it is MEANT to happen.
And so,
on the occasion of this rare,
but not impossible February 29,
let’s take a leap of faith.
What have we got to lose?
Stress, maybe?
Trail Wood,
2/29
In a world where the cacophony of stress often drowns out the whispers of tranquility, the act of faith stands as a beacon of hope, guiding us towards a horizon of peace. This leap of faith, especially on the rare occasion of February 29, symbolizes an extraordinary moment of decision—a choice to embrace the unknown with optimism rather than fear.
The Personal and Collective Benefits of Caring
Boldly stepping into the unknown requires a profound sense of trust, not just in the fabric of fate but in ourselves and the interconnected web of life that surrounds us. This trust, this faith, acts as a powerful antidote to stress, which, left unchecked, can erode our health, happiness, and sense of purpose.
Faith is not merely a passive acceptance but an active engagement with life. It encourages us to see beyond the immediate challenges, to envision a landscape of possibilities where every outcome, whether perceived as good or bad, has its place and purpose. This perspective fosters resilience, allowing us to navigate life’s uncertainties with grace and courage.
Summary
Faith offers a path to serenity amid chaos

in the quiet whispers of a leap
where faith and doubt deeply sleep
on the edge of forever’s keep
we find the courage to leap deep
across the chasm wide and steep
where February’s secrets peep
in faith’s embrace, we gently sweep
past stress, into calm’s warm sweep
with a leap of faith, so bold and reet
we dance on time’s endless beep
in trust, our hearts gladly leap
for in faith, true peace we reap
