I am often asked how I can still have faith, being an educated person. I suppose to a skeptic, there is no rationale at all, but every time I see a ray of sunlight coming through a cloud, I am filled with awe, and think that there has to be something bigger than us...

I will quote a line from my favorite children's book, The Tale of Despereaux:
"Hope is a ridiculous, wonderful, powerful thing.
And often hope is entwined with faith. I really don't think anyone should have to justify their faith. Your poem is wonderful and I really like how you structured it.

Oh, so sorry I missed your beautiful expressions of faith when you had first posted it!! We need not have to explain why we believe when it is the heart and soul of us - of our spirit, our being!!!
Your words are dear to me!! I wholeheartedly agree!
Hallelujah!!

Thank you so much, Sheila! My life is complete when I have faith...
Yes, I've always believed in something or someone greater than all of us. Everything is unimaginable otherwise - existentialism never appealed to me. You have expressed your faith with much fervor and love, Rita. Very nicely done.

When we relate the aesthetic to spiritual meanings, we find beauty such as in your work. Unlike you, my studies led me far away from the beliefs of youth but I still have that keen eye for a seductive cloud or the gossiping of a brook. I enjoyed tihs immensely.
