i believe
I’m not seeking but it doesn’t mean I’m not expecting. To not expect something extraordinary would be like not taking a breath. You don’t think about it, but you do it because you have to. We have to believe in something.
There are those who believe through sight, those who believe through experience, and those who believe through hope. We all have the desire to believe. How you go about letting it out of your system is as unique as your heart and soul.
I think there is an element of a curse to it. Once you believe in something, our nature is to try and prove it isn’t real. We always want to see what’s behind all three curtains, even after we’ve selected our prize. I don’t know about you, but I just get hung up on it, so that pretty soon, proving my choice was wrong is the only way my mind can rest.
Whenever I can’t disprove a belief born in my heart, there is joy. Like anything, it sneaks up on you. Your vision becomes so clear you don’t see what is not. You speak what you believe and if what you believe is truth, then naturally, truth is what you speak of. There is a great comfort when doubt is non existent.
I’m not seeking but it doesn’t mean I’m not expecting. I know something wonderful is going to happen to me. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a hundred years. I believe something, someone out there, is believing for me. Surely not in some distant land. Maybe down the block or even ‘cross the street. And yes, I laugh at the idea of such a thing, but I still believe. For now, I’m wrapped up in the expectancy of the unexpected.
How can I get you to believe? It’s all about human relationships and telling stories. All we need is our open hands – reach out and believe.

To believe, to know
when “you know”, then faith is present …
stories are what it is all about i think !!!
Everyone lives many stories synchronously and sometimes asynchronously too – threads break and are joined a few years down the road – the question of course is are you living the story you want to – and I “believe” that if you can do that – then you have achieved “It”! Till then as you journey on – tell stories – hear stories and live them – with eyes wide open … this post is very close to what i believe in – and hence the rant….
Wanting to see behind the curtains? are You?
Actually I think that looking in his own soul is what really matters and then we make what we want from whatever is behind the curtain.

i really agree that when you believe in something, you’ll try to prove it wrong. *shrugs*
I tend to not try and find what causes something like that to happen. It just does and I am blessed by it. It is one of the many smaller miracles that can happen daily when we just let them. Not be blocked by thoughts drilled into our heads as we grow up.
