Vignette: Letters to God #10

Letters to God #10

Hey God,

It’s me, Daniel—the one who wrote the unproduced road show script about Brigham Young’s wives syncing their cycles and the young women’s president asked me to leave her house. I’m that Daniel.

Are you getting these messages? If so, how do you propose letting me know? Thunder clap on the count of three? A wise blind person on the street who can see so much more than his surroundings? Talking donkey?

I saw this quote this week I thought you might like, but maybe you’ve already heard it. “Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that’s why life is hard. (Jeremy Goldberg). It makes me think of faith, or at least what I’ve been taught about faith.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen, but so is delusion.

Are we talking? Do I just talk as if we are and hope?

My thoughts turn to another quote: “There is a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot” (Steven Wright).

So which am I? I suppose I won’t know until the day is done.

Yours,

Daniel
