“He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity’s sunrise.”
― William Blake

It is easy to walk away from faith
Harder to climb back on board
The ship of faith as it navigates these stormy seas.
The scientific sage of this secular age
Associates blind faith with barbaric ignorance
Murder and marauding and in the name of God.

True faith links us to childhood innocence
To Wordsworth’s memorable aphorism
That the child is father to the man
And that we can, by looking deep within,
Reconnect with the simple faith of childhood,
And so cast a light into the darkness of these cruel times.
