When the power of words and ritual come together in the best way it can strike fire in human hearts.

What is success? To appreciate nature's beauty. To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

                     -Ralph Waldo Emerson (1820-1882)

I'd rather be riding an elephant like my friend Drew

Pope Francis "We are brothers "

SiLas Be~~~~~~his take on faith.

I'm not a "man of  faith" but there are rare instances where I find it to be useful. When you see a fork in the road of your future, one positive and one negative and you have no control over the direction life will take you, but instead of fretting about it, you have " faith" that things will turn out alright. In the best sense of the secular definition of the word I feel it's functional on occasions such as this.

Faith as a religious tool to ignore reality however is quite toxic

Keep your words sweet
