If only for a day, or for all time, today I step away from the certainty of religion.

I step away from being told everything will be o k.

I step away from “Everything is part of the plan” from safety, comfort, self-righteousness.

I choose life, sadness, and confusion.

I choose the path that has not been walked before, because it is the path that presents itself.

I give up judgement of right and wrong and choose acceptance.

I give up the pursuit of knowledge for the patience of understanding.

Although I am always in a state of fear, I will remember to at least speak gratitude,

And believe my heart will overtake my mind, and fear will transform into peace. Only this.
