Dante Gabriel Rossetti
In the beautiful act of having this faith in oneself
there is an inherent acquiescence
to a "higher Right" or a higher truth ...
perhaps a more divine perspective.
I remember a time when I had lost the ability to do this,
to submit to the higher,
to trust and believe
that I would be held gently in the hands of grace.
It was a dark time, and yet, as Rodney Collin says,
faith holds a thread for us, once we have known it,
and it is this thread which will finally guide us home.
In the darkness,
I couldn't feel a connection to any sense of faith,
but even then,
I knew the pain of its absence was a guarantee that it existed.
And so I kept looking,
and through the difficult journey
I begin to see bits of light,
and finally some guiding hands appeared,
and with them the keys to open my eyes.
And through this difficult journey
I finally arrived here with you all,
and I know that grace had given me my home at last.
This feeling of trust and certainty
has not left me again, and were it to do so,
I now have the gift of understanding to help guide me back.
