"Courage is the human virtue that counts most - courage to act on limited knowledge and insufficient evidence. That's all any of us have."
- Robert Frost
I love Mister Robert Frost. He's always been my favorite poet. Well, at least since high school. Eleventh grade English to be precise, when we read The Road Less Traveled and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Day. You can always trust a poet to provide the words you need when you are fresh out of ways to express just what you feel.
But today is different. This isn't how I feel. In fact, I feel no courage at all. Instead I feel like curling up in a little ball and hiding for the rest of my life. I don't know who I am anymore. BUT...this is what I needed to hear. I feel like I have no knowledge and no proof of who or what I am supposed to be or what I should do with the rest of my life. I just know that I need to do something, anything.
I believe in God. I have limited knowledge of Him, and I have insufficient evidence to even prove He exists. And yet my belief persists. Perhaps that is the only courage I can exercise right now...to pray and hope that He hears me.
