Importance

I don’t know that one
is more important than
the other...equality seems
to be the fashion. Nor can
I say with any certainty
that two cannot function
as one: for I have heard the 
rumors of harmony, though 
both my ears seem slightly 
at different tones--and why 
did God make so many
of us? All of whom end up as
smoke or rotting in graves, a 
subject we have in common. 
Ah, yes! The Spirit! Something
I really want to believe in, despite
the lack of Weights-and-measures:
My mind tells me one thing
while my heart says something else--
a library says it all; while the church
remains a vacuum of faith. Perhaps
religion is more to keep children in line
and husbands tethered to one?
Miracles keep me going.

If so, you've answered the question of faith. Good one Joe, well done...
