Faith

At times we all need faith. 

Faith that when you open your eyes, the World will more or less resemble the one you closed them on. 

Faith that those that loved you yesterday will love you today.
Faith that gravity and various other accepted rules will carry on behaving themselves in a fashion that is conducive to life.
Faith that the dog will wag its tail and not bite you.
Faith that when you go to the market, they will have food and sell it to you.
Faith that the sun will be followed by rain.
Faith that behind the morning mist, the mountain is still there.
Some days it can seem that all these things might just fail.
And we might not mind so much about that. On those days, look around you and see that the mountain is still there.
Your lack of faith in the World, didn’t stop it being there.
Because the mountain has faith in you.
