Day 69: Faith. I put my faith in so many things that make no sense to me now. First and foremost I put my faith directly at my own feet. As though I had some for of control over it. i felt that I could inflict my own will on my life, that I was in control over things. That ideal is what lead me to the bottom. That bottom was life with no Spirit, no real appreciation of the world around me. Regularly in our day to day lives, living in the age we do, we put our faith in so many things that we have zero knowledge of. Truly, do we know how and why the things that happen every day come to fruition? I know that I thought I had a firm grasp on those ideas, by knowing simple facts about things. Knowing the elements that go into being able to grow a blade of grass, does not make me the master of that blade of grass, or have a clue as to its motivation to grow in the first place, for that matter. Knowing the how of an engine, down to the smallest of components, does not grant me the knowledge of why Hydrogen molecules would combine with Oxygen to create the combustion possible to move the car forward. How and why are two vastly different things. Both have value, but, the how was clouding my judgement towards my place in the universe. The how was what tripped me up. I know that now. That is something that caused me to lose my appreciation for all the beauty that is in this universe. That driving force that I believe in. Love. My pain was driven by my own selfishness in avoiding acting out of love. Love guides me in all of my affairs, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment. One Day. Today. Love, Joel
