Faith is in you whenever you look

At a dewdrop or a floating leaf

And know that they are because they have to be.

Even if you close your eyes and dream up things

The world will remain as it has always been

And the leaf will be carried by the waters of the river.

You have faith also when you hurt your foot

Against a sharp rock and you know

That rocks are there to hurt our feet.

See the long shadow that is cast by the tree?

We and trees throw shadows on the earth.

What has no shadow has no strength to live.
