All my Good Intentions

In a country that is majorly Catholic, nobody bothers asking about religion. What I would rather ask, if I wanted to add a person to the script of my life, is his/her stand on spirituality. See, my faith is quite shaky due to literary skepticism and some 'shit happens' situations of the past. The people around me, the really close ones, are however very strong in their beliefs of a superior force that puts harmony in the Universe and gives back your good and wrong doings. Some of them are bound to a religion; none of them is blinded by it.

During the past weeks, I started to have this feeling of warmth. It is shocking to realise how I went back and forth Europe, got into relationships, did parkour, and had several full-time jobs feeling completely on my own. I understood only recently the biblical quote that says: faith is the reality of things being hoped for, the proof of things not being seen.

So where does faith come from? I think that when you trust (someone, something, yourself), it just happens. Maybe having this one special person now in my life is helping to open the channels to belief. I feel safe, happy, cared for... quite at ease.

I thought about faith because this morning I am wearing my usual business gear and have underneath this bracelet braided with small pieces that were put together on prayer by a native huichol. So it actually may look worthless, but it comes from afar and carries with it all his good intentions... just like the feather in 'The Joy Luck Club'.

Can faith come from good intentions and a fantastic evening on the coach with my lovely luv? I am starting to believe it can...
