Credo

I believe that people are fundamentally good.
I believe that beauty is all around us. Just look for it.
I believe that one should seek to act with integrity rather than honorably,
That showing up is an underrated attribute in a person and as an aspect of a well-lived life,
That the one who puts the finishing touches on his life every day always has plenty of time.
I believe that proof undermines faith rather than supports it,
That things happen every day for no good reason at all.
I believe that the fewer powers we ascribe to God, the more powerful he becomes.
I believe in Santa Clause, in child-like wonder and everyday magic.
That staying present is a difficult but important skill to master.
That sometimes the healing comes before the cure.
Rather than rage against the dying of the light, let’s love to the last breath.
