Exactly a month to go

Yesterday, I was made aware of two things about remembering and faith.

In regards to remembering,

"The best picture is always the one in front of you." - meaning, there's nothing like the present. And then it dawned upon me, it is true! When you're in the present, you experience IT in all 5 senses - you feel the warm breeze and the pavement, you smell the fresh air or someone's dinner, you hear the birds chirping or noisy trucks go by, you see what's in front of you ever so clearly without having pixels get in your way due to bad quality/resolution and if you're eating a sweet, you taste the sweet - otherwise, you've just got your stale saliva :P

In regards to faith,

Faith is knowing and believing something is there - not trying to think or believe it into existence, just knowing that it IS! Just like when you're in a room, with the lights switched off. Whether you believe there's a shoe on the table, doesn't change the fact that there's a shoe on the table or whether there's not. Faith is simply knowing what IS.
