FAITH: 

Faith Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. –
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

22  Faith When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness
of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: Either you will be given
something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.

23  Faith vs. Belief “Belief is the insistence that the truth is what one would ‘lief’ or wish it to be...
Faith... is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. Faith has
no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith lets go... faith is the
essential virtue of science, and likewise of any religion that is not self-deception.” –Alan Watts

24  Faith “Faith is the ability to look at the world we have created and see possibility, even as we
acknowledge our capacity for destruction. It is the glue that holds our fractured pieces together and
allows us to continue beyond all reason. The faith we seek is not the comfort of having all the
answers. Rather, it is the will to keep asking the questions. Faith is the voice in the night that says
we will go on.”
