for all who talk to me about their crises of faith....

....it comes and goes. Sometimes you feel it and sometimes you don't. Eventually you learn to have faith that the faith is still there, but there are clouds hiding it.

And you are in good company. And there is much to be done, when you are feeling your faith and when you aren't

Dear Sujatin..
Thank you for posting this. Sometimes I am annoyed to myself when I feel like I am "far". Thank you to remind me that it is completely normal.

Love & Light,

There's an interesting and provocative article in today's by Sam Harris that touches on Mother Theresa's spiritual crisis. It's so sad when people equate theism with spirituality and then experience such torment when they doubt the existence of God.

I wish I could remember who said it. It was a Catholic, I think. She went to mass twice a week, without fail, and when a friend said to her, "I wish I had your faith," she answered, in some surprise, "But I don't go to church because I have faith. I go to church so that if faith does come along, I'll be in the right place."
