Like happiness, it is evanescent; something you can't put your finger on; a quiet knowing that regardless of outcome, "This, too, shall pass."
It.
Is.
Faith.
Faith may have its roots in religion but for me, it encompasses a way of life beyond the confines of any place of worship. Without it, I'm not sure how I'd survive.
They say when the going gets tough, the tough get going. But more often than not, the tough turn to their faith, stronger than steel.
When I find myself at a crossroads or when life throws me a curve ball, faith (in the outcome) is my strongest ally.
Ofttimes, it is the questions that are more important than the answers.
