By Sense and By Faith

I guess so.

I mean, we weren't sure where we should dig.

How'd you decide?

We just picked a spot, but it seemed right, didn't it?

Yes.

We both agreed.

Like, once we started, we couldn't stop.

Not until we finished.

And how did you know you were finished?

Well, we dug four holes about three feet deep and a shallow trench connecting them.

A big circle.

Yes, as wide as the clearing.

And why that shape?

I'm not sure.

Remarkable.

Isn't that remarkable? Talk about people who understood the assignment.

They let themselves be guided by sense and by faith.

Their bodies commanded them to dig in that place, in that way, and there was no argument about it.

But what's it for?

It's for them, for you, Susan, for all of us.

Some things have value beyond what you can use them for.

That's not exactly something you can prove, is it?

Well, the universe isn't about proof.

It's about being and listening.
