Faith is in you whenever you look <br />At a dewdropp or a floating leaf <br />And know that they are because they have to be. <br />Even if you close your eyes and dream up things <br />The world will remain as it has always been <br />And the leaf will be carried by the waters of the river. <br /> <br />You have faith also when you hurt your foot <br />Against a sharp rock and you know <br />That rocks are there to hurt our feet. <br />See the long shadow that is cast by the tree? <br />We and trees throw shadows on the earth. <br />What has no shadow has no strength to live.<br /><br />Czeslaw Milosz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/faith-223/
