Believe in Something

Crafted with Open AI’s DALL·E 3

At times, the world demands that we possess more certainty than is possible. It expects us to anticipate outcomes, devise plans, and remain perpetually prepared. We are told to stay ahead, to analyze, to predict. But life rarely unfolds in clean lines. It bends and loops and doubles back. It pauses without warning. It takes us places we never planned to go. Much of what is truly meaningful in life moves in ways that defy explanation. It speaks in whispers, not declarations. It shows up slowly, patiently, often beneath our notice.

This is where belief enters — not as dogma, not as proof, but as posture. As a quiet orientation of the soul. As the subtle decision to open yourself to something more, even when you can't name it. Belief is not a billboard. It's not a battle. It's how you hold your breath when the room is silent. It's how you rise each morning without knowing what the day will ask of you. It's how you choose to walk forward, even with trembling legs.

I have no interest in provocation. I'm not here to convince or persuade. My only hope is to offer a soft pause. A breath in the noise. A moment of stillness that invites a quieter kind of knowing — one that doesn’t shout, but hums, gently and persistently beneath the surface.
