I keep faith

What does it mean to keep faith? What is faith for that matter? The word alone strikes immediate reaction. Positive and negative depending on your life experiences and world-view. Here we are talking about faith (not Faith). That is faith with a small f not Faith (notice the capitalization). To be sure, it is something that is lackingin this world. faith that everything will be alright, faith in other human beings. This is our scope. It is not withinthe scope of this adventure to tie in notions of a Faith, but faith alone.

We doubt. We do not trust a soul, not even ourselves (and sometimes with good reason). We live in fear. We live in dispair. It permeates our inner fiber like tissue in water. It will slowly take us over and disolve us, that is unless we have faith. faith in humanity, faith in our longevity as a soul. All one song. faith that things will turn out, one way or another. Perhaps not our will but the will of the universe (one song). Even the most minute speck of faith contributed could be enough. All people adding just the faintest touch. Before it was just a dusting, less than a flurry. We are hoping to see some accumulation. I want an arctic tundra of faith!Surrounding. Binding. Penetrating. Infusing. Infuse into us all! Make us all one again! Rather, may we all realize that we are dually all one AND individuals. Manifestations of the song of existence! Individuals cohesively forming the atom that forms the molecule that forms the cell that forms the skin of the devine. I keep faith. We keep saying, "ya gotta believe" and then push an ideology we should be required to hold to. faith might be just enough (or enough faith freely given would aid in our survival). The Cynicism intoxicates you and I into thinking and believing that things cannot change. That your situation, or the situation of your home or community or country or world is unmovable. This belief that You as a complex person cannot change. That I cannot change or that We cannot change (at least in any real fashion or noticeable difference). This pessimism, this cynicism, is a delusion. A common delusion.

Again I ask, what is faith? What does it mean to keep faith? Perhaps it is belief in betterment ourselves. That things can, will, and must improve. Accepting the world as it is, all of the awfulness with the greatness. The death and the life, everything as it is. Then make your stand in faith. Not in ideology but in humanity. When people don't change, they become stagnant, closed, compressed and narrow and unwilling to see the chain reaction of their actions or inactions. I say, let us change! Hold on to what is good and wash away the stagnant water of the past. All with faith! Perhaps I am taking a piss here but I don't think so. I ask you to help me elaborate. We need each other to grow, else we die. Don't you know it's gonna be alright!
