When God and Spirituality and Religion are restrained within borders, books, behaviors, the servant might then become unexpansive in mind and souL, the servant believes the fundamental questions of life are already known. A Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim, a Jew, etc., to be a true follower must become independent of doctrine and dogma, not be so particular, and let themselves become drenched by the miracles that happen stiLL, disattached from any canon or creed.

I think we are all doubters at some time. I think we are Skeptics. I think we are believers, too. I think moments like AL reuniting with his daughter in a work of art is something of the underground Spirit of things, something that awakens the dead ones, the dry ones, the dreary ones, and maybe, just maybe, injects us with an inscription of our own name and our name's importance in our own history.

This happening to AL is something I have seen in my daily day-dreaming, something I hope happens if not now, then maybe in a tunnel of Heaven, whatever Heaven is. It is something I believe will Happen. Because in belief a power and a spirit, arises, it somehow outlines in bold broad line our humaneness and we are never more alive than in these moments.

Some think belief only produces in us an enslavement to a higher order, God, Christ, Allah, Vishnu, etc., some kind of control mechanism to keep us in order and to keep us from going insane from the complexities and miseries of life. But I propose that belief is something like a secret. When I believe, as one who believes in something other thaN just my own self, I am flooded with imagery, colouR, creation, Newness, Life, Hope, Resurrection, a power that is beyond me, a Loving Energy that vibrates my souL.

In all these thiNgs I have written, I cLaim even I do not even understand fully. Maybe pieces will make sense, maybe not. But I think even the senseless things hold in them sense because the senseless is still uttered, taken from the subconscious bowels of belief.
