"I know how hard it is in these times to have faith, but maybe if you could have the faith to start with, maybe the times would change. You could change them. Think about it. Try. And try not to hurt each other. There's been enough of that, and it really gets in the way. No matter how hopeless, helpless, mixed up and scary it all gets, it can work. If you find it hard to believe in me, maybe it would help you to know I believe in you."

PLAYING WITH IDEAS
About Me
- Don Neale Jr.
- You could say I've spent my entire 56 years trying to figure out what this riddle called life is all about. It seems the pieces to this puzzle - good and evil, purpose and meaninglessness, contentment and restlessness, opportunity and hardship, joy and suffering, self and humanity, life and death, eternal and mortal, Creator and created - simply do not (or cannot) fit together. At this point in the journey I've come to appreciate that the answers I've sought - at times desparately - were never "out there," but were instead within me all along just waiting to be discovered. The spiritually enlightened commonly tell us they offer nothing we do not already possess. How true. How very true.
