I BELIEVE
Embracing the glow
listening to intangible truths,
I but a mortal can only wonder
At that which I cannot see
But know and feel to be.
~ Penny L. Howe, 2012

I believe deep inside lies a flame. A light if you will. I call it faith. I don’t mean religion. Religion is how many chose to embrace, celebrate and nurture their faith. But faith comes in all formats and I believe in each one of us exists this glowing essence.
Faith is the language of the soul. The glow from within. The flame glows mightily for some and almost imperceptibly for others. But it’s always there, none the less.
Some spend their lives disbelieving what their soul whispers to them in the night. Some spend their lives questioning that which they cannot understand even though they feel it inside. Some spend their lives on a quest embracing that which they cannot understand but chose to accept. And some radiate the glow from within for all to see.
Faith is the language of our soul and whatever you decide to accept and believe, it will always be there inside, waiting to come forth. I believe faith is the flame that shines within your soul that brightens your hopes, your dreams, your possibilities, your life. This I believe.
Thank you,
I wish you well this day,

Yes that is exactly what I mean, Yoshiko. Well spoken dear friend!
Thanks 🙂
I really like this Penny. I do apologise, I didn’t recognise it when I read it. I thought I would have done having read every one of your posts (except for August last year)
It is like reading it for the first time and I really enjoyed it.
Hey Alastair. No worries and thank you, dearest friend. You did indeed. That was a lot of posts too, LOL, and I stay appreciative of you, never forget that! Much love to you, your daughter and son. 🙂 xo
Thank you. Hugs to you and your family Penny.
I love this beautiful poem and post. I too believe we all have the light within. Beautifully penned, thank you for visiting my blog, Oliana
Hello Oliana, thank you so much for your lovely compliment. We do agree. indeed. Have a wonderful weekend ahead!
Reminds me of a conversation regarding faith and beliefs. Just because you cannot see something does not mean it is not there. We cannot see air, can we? Hugs and love!
Thank you Barb. Hugs and Much love (and positive healing power – thought I’d sneak that in there) to you too! xo
