My faith does not provide answers to all the questions, or a complete and rational explanation for life, the universe, and everything. Nor does it guarantee a perfect, unambiguous and carefree way of living.
But it does give expression to the wonder and gratitude I so often feel, and to the questions, the grief, the anger and the longings of my heart. And it gives me hope, a sense of purpose, and a framework for living.
So, in spite of – or perhaps because of – all my doubts and uncertainties, my scepticism and frustration, I keep walking this road with both tears and a twinkle in my eye.
