The Choice

After going through a significant span of confusion, after hacking away at all the extraneous matter, it came down to making a choice between two ways of looking at things:

• To not believe, for the lack of concrete evidence of the presence, OR
• To believe, for the lack of concrete evidence of the absence

I chose the latter - I prefer to call it optimism - and it has made a profound difference. I have since not felt the need to doubt - it is true - and the evidence for the belief unfolds slowly. I am grateful!
