Faith

The Vernal Pool has returned just Northeast of the cabin. This means that the creature cousins that rely on it's waters can begin their life cycle. Some creatures migrate back to it, but some are left there by their parents the previous Fall. Knowing where the pools appear, wise parents leave their progeny to be nurtured by the water in the Spring, if the pools return.

This gets me thinking about what Faith is for me. Like a parent leaving an egg in an area where the water required to create a new life might appear, Faith is about possibilities, not certainties. The parents can choose to leave their eggs. What happens next is out of their control. I take action and have Faith that whatever happens next will create further possibilities. The waters have returned, the cycle has begun. What happens next is yet to be known.
