chapter 57 page 175
"If faith were rational, it would be-by definition-faith. Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be...a prudent insurance policy."
Faith/life is like a series of doorways. You open it, take a step and walk in. If you are in the room and you do not know your place and feel lost you can find security in the idea that there is another door right ahead. It is not certain where that door will lead, but it is certain that the door will open once you turn the knob.
