My faith is in the experience I have of being known.
My life becomes my proof~
Faith and trust are like the ocean.
When I first came to believe
opened my eyes to what was
it was not to knowledge
or proof
or evidence.
it was in experience.
Like the ocean outside my window
it is always there
always surrounding me
with the sound
the smell
the pieces of it
that live in the birds
the grasses
the shells and
sealife
that spill into the gardens
houses
roads and
earth.
It is always with me.
I can let it be silence
sometimes
yet
it is always there.
and I can pursue it.
and it comes to me
over and over
never ceasing
crashing into my calves
thighs
even
immersing me.
when I choose to
pursue it each day
to visit and take time
I am changed further
taken higher
and giving more to
my life
in every moment
the ocean outside my window
always there
as distant
or as near as I
choose to make it
My faith is my experience
and its waves never cease.
in love. trish
