Fanatics do not have faith - they have belief. With faith you let go. You trust. Whereas with belief you cling.

High calls low and low calls high. I tell you, if you were in such dire straits as I was, you too would elevate your thoughts. The lower you are, the higher your mind will want to soar.

You can get used to anything - haven't I already said that? Isn't that what all survivors say?

Faith in God is an opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love - but sometimes it was so hard to love.

science can only take you so far and then you have to leap

Atheists are my brothers and sisters of a different faith, and every word they speak speaks of faith. Like me, they go as far as the legs of reason will carry them -- and then they leap.
