Not All Popes Wear White

Birds do not sing in caves, nor do doves cherish their innocence in dovecots. - Thoreau

i saw a red bird

it toted no religion

only plumes of faith

Author's Note

"I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn." - Thoreau

There is a big difference between faith and religion. One is done as routine and not alway with the heart that should be.

Faith is believing without seeing. Knowing without others telling you that you should do a certain thing. Faith to me is loving, peaceful and forgiving.

that pretty much nails it. i might just add one thing - faith can appear and disappear much like that bird; we don't know where it came from or where it's going, only where we want it to bring us or take us. thanks for the great share.
