Religion is like holding on to a rock in the middle of a rag

Summary

This quote suggests that religion provides stability and a sense of security, much like holding on to a rock in a chaotic river. However, faith goes beyond just relying on something external for safety. It highlights the importance of personal growth and development, represented by learning how to swim. Faith involves actively engaging with one's beliefs, adapting to different challenges, and evolving personally while navigating the uncertainties of life. It implies that faith requires an active and inner strength, rather than solely relying on external sources.

I don't have a diary, I don't write things into a diary. I imprint myself into the sky and when the sunlight shines brightly, I can stand under the sun's rays and everything I have imprinted of myself into the sky, I will begin to see again, feel again, remember. And when the wind begins to blow, it blows the details over my face, and I remember everything I left in the sky and see new things being born. I am unwritten.
