Faith

There are an
Estimated 100
Billion neurons
Which make over 100
Trillion synapses
In a single, human brain.

We are our own church.
A congregation of many
Negotiating, probing
Other congregations
We'll never know completely
And neither will they.
So to be truly faithless,
Is to not want to take
A single, human step.

We walk out our faith
Oblivious.
