In the morning, the sunrise calls me to the beginning of contemplation, which is faith

For me, faith is the beginning of contemplation, nothing more. It might lead to God, it might lead elsewhere, that is our birthright and our choice. Faith is not an emotion, not a feeling for me. It is very simply an elemental need in my spirit. It is not some personal myth I cannot share, it is not something that mushrooms up out of the recesses of my soul. It is not an opinion or an argument.

Faith pacifies me, it is brought to life by the infinite light. It pacifies my mind, my intellect with calm and conviction. It perfects my spirit. I believe that faith leads me to ultimate understanding of the human existence, the best way for me to find the answers to the questions on which all my happiness and love and fulfillment depends.
