What Faith Is

We enter every day
Not knowing what awaits us
We operate on the faith
That we will be conveyed.

Faith is deep and silent
It’s secure and real
Unshaken and undeterred
By the havoc wreaked by emotion.

Faith alone is knowledge
Because of it
I can wait, watch and listen
And see past my own misconceptions.

Faith is a promise
That all that you need
Will be provided to you
And all that needs you, will come to you.

Faith is acceptance-
An understanding
That all our experiences
Are the intent of a larger design.

Faith is the ground
On which realization
Will eventually stand, victorious-
Having defeated all delusions.

No Way to Being

Now I’m seeking
How to be
Without being someone…

A being
Without definition
Without make-believe

I want to
Be able to see
What my ignorance has erected.

I want to stand
Face-to-face
With my incompleteness.

I want to
Get re-acquainted
With my emptiness…

In that emptiness, I sense
I will find that there is
No way to being.
