The Fire of Faith


Faith gives power. It provides light in darkness and is the source of endless potential.  All this happens within.

One man of faith approached another and said, “As far as I can, I stay in my little office, I fast a little, I pray and meditate, I live in peace and as far as I can, I purify my thoughts.  What else can I do?
Then the old man stood up and stretched his hands toward heaven.  His fingers became like ten lamps of fire and he said to him, 'If you will, you can become all aflame’.”   
- from The Sayings of the Desert Fathers.

Be a fire.

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
