What is your most useful human quality?
Why do I so often write of faith?
Because my faith draws me to do so.
My intuition tells me
that of all the qualities
to which humans cling,
that faith is the most useful.
If I were to abandon
all qualities except one,
I would save faith for last.
I can live without love,
but where would I be without faith?
If my perception
mirrors my belief,
then I would probably be
where I observe others being.
Fighting for control.
Struggling to make sense.
Yearning for love.
Meanwhile, I have faith
that I have everything I need
and that everything unfolds
precisely as it is meant to unfold.
I have faith
that your experience
serves you well,
just as mine does.

The Power of Faith
In the vast tapestry of human qualities, one often finds themselves drawn to write about faith. It is not a mere coincidence but a reflection of the profound significance that faith holds in our lives. Faith, like a guiding star in the night sky, illuminates our path and provides us with the inner strength to navigate the complexities of existence.
Intuition’s Whisper
Intuition, that subtle voice within, whispers to us the importance of faith among all the qualities we hold dear. It is as if intuition knows that in the tapestry of our being, faith is the thread that weaves the fabric of our reality. It is the essence that gives meaning to our experiences and provides us with the resilience to face life’s challenges.
The Essential Quality
If we were to strip away all qualities except one, faith would be the last to remain. It is a quality so fundamental that it sustains us even when love, a cherished emotion, may wane. While love is a beautiful and transformative force, it is faith that underpins our journey through life.
The Choice of Perception
Our perception is a mirror of our belief, and it is through the lens of faith that we perceive the world. When we embrace faith, we find ourselves in a different place than those who are caught in the struggle for control or the quest for meaning. Faith offers us a vantage point where we can observe life unfolding with trust and acceptance.
The Belief in Divine Order
With faith as our companion, we come to believe that we possess everything we need, and that the universe unfolds according to a divine order. It is a belief that brings solace and serenity, allowing us to surrender to the flow of existence.
A Shared Journey
In this shared journey of life, your experience serves you well, just as mine does for me. Through faith, we find common ground, transcending the boundaries of separation and embracing the interconnectedness of our human experience.
