I struggle with my faith on a daily basis. I've been watching too much Babylon 5 lately so in my mind I keep hearing Delenn saying something about it all being part of the path. For so long I've wanted my faith to be well defined, something that was a sure thing. But I don't think it will ever be that easy. And maybe it really is all part of the path. But what path that is, I don't know.
When I picked the title and the URL for this website, this blog, I felt it was appropriate for my life at the time but I think it will always be appropriate for my spiritual path. When one question comes up, I seek an answer. But soon that answer will become a question again. When it comes to my faith, I can say that I am absolutely uncertain.
I think the definition of absolute uncertainty fits: the size of the range of values in which the true value of the measurement probably lies. The truth, or the truth I seek, lies somewhere along a range of values, beliefs, but there is nothing absolute. Hence the uncertainty. I cannot know the position and the momentum of my faith at the same time. I can be certain for a while (position) but then there is no forward momentum. As soon as I move forward (or backward) then I lose the exact position. See...science and faith do mix. Well, at least at the quantum level.

everything has a purpose, even doggie poo.
i think struggling with faith is a natural, real and true thing. we are complex, ever changing individuals. it is strange to me, actually, no, frightening when people tell me they have no doubts, no questions. to question, in my not at all meaningful opinion, doesn't make anyone's faith weaker.
I would call myself spiritual.
