Belief

A message from the girl who didn’t believe in anything

I used to be afraid of prayer, of God, of religion

it felt like weakness

it left like a last thread of hope.

I thought those who believed were walking around the world with blinders on

not actually seeing the reality in front of them.

Now I know that I was the blind one.

Stuck to the ground by the thoughts in my head.

Sure, religion can be dogmatic

it can indeed make people blind.

Blinded to the true connection between all of us.

Now I know that prayers are just

messages to the Universe

and God is just the connection our souls have to one another

to everything on this planet

and to everything beyond.

Beliefs don’t have to be rigid and dogmatic.

They can be fluid and interconnected

and grand

That is the beauty or prayer.

The beauty of god.

Feeling open, free, fluid, bigger than yourself.
