The two bookends of life: Birth and Death – the tension created by the frame they create fuels the creative impulse that drives life.”
Within each of us a need for certainty exists – a certainty that cannot exist in the world, as we know it.
From this premise, we begin a journey to seek an uncertain truth that can only exist in faith. Within the intuitive understanding of this concept, we begin our journey.
The frame of Life created at Birth and ending with Death is a vertical boundary, open ended at each end.
To travel beyond the vertical boundary is a matter of transcendence and, if we go beyond the frame, we go from the uncertainty of reality to the certainty of uncertainty.
We call that journey Faith and it cannot be resolved as long as we remain in the frame.
