Fodder for the fire
All week long i've been watching the DaVinci Code precursors on A&E and am delighted at all the information i can now go and investigate...the gnostic gospels for one.
Although i'm more about "fact" than fiction, i also realize we only know what we know and we all know it's the winners who write the books of history (whose quote is that one?).
Controversy is always interesting in the conversation it stirs....kinda reminds me of when Madonna stirred the papal pot back in the '80's...no disrespect at all toward the truly religious, i'm more of a fence-sitter, with my finger in the pot of many spiritual belief systems,...my interest in astrology and pagan rites which pre-date Christianity would cause some fundamentalists and those of Orthodoxy to cringe...i do apologize..i do not mean to offend anyone's belief system...we all have the right in a democratic society to honour whichever God appeals... for many it's sadly the material and homocentric mainly...i.e. man-based and physically rooted...i suppose my wish to "believe" is to transcend the earth...perhaps pie-in-the-sky...i do not know
many quotes would fit nicely here now (mainly Buddhist i feel), in any case, here's where my mind and fingers wandered this morning:
"You can't do anything about the length of your life (i would suggest you can)
however you can do something about it's width and it's depth."

DaVinci Code review
faith
Faith makes the discords of the present the harmonies of the future.
-Robert Collyer (1823-1912)
Just as we have faith that the sun is behind the clouds on a rainy day, we can have faith that whatever problems seems to be presenting themselves at the moment will be resolved. And they will. When we don't know what to do - we can always have faith.
