Sharon and Jim- Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark. The bird that sings long before the sun has risen is strong evidence of faith. For that bird trust the sky will soon lighten, the sun will rise, and the world will come alive. It is when the bird won't sing at such a time that we know it has lost faith in the great continuum of things. Even when things seem darkest for us, we can still sing. Even in our grief we can find a voice within us that will help us have faith that all things change, all wounds heal, all is eased through the passage of time.Love, Linda Portland, Oregon
