Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

GRATITUDE
Where proof runs out, something else has to carry a conviction, and that something is what faith names. For some people this is its whole strength, a trust that holds when argument cannot reach. For others it is exactly the reason for caution. Read either way, it marks a real boundary between what you can demonstrate and what you have chosen to rely on anyway.
Everyone lives with commitments on both sides of that boundary, about people, about the future, about what matters. It can be clarifying to sort a few of yours. Notice which rest on evidence and which rest on trust, and let each be what it is without pretending it is the other.
What have you held onto without being able to prove it?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
