This is not about a lack of faith.
It's not about whether or not it
could happen, but it's a technical
maneuver that I've been training
on for quite some time.
It's not that they don't have the
resources, or any lack in this case.
No, actually, they have a strong well
of belief. All of them do.
The sister, the brother, the father,
the children. The lineage, the family
tree. The sister, the brother, the
father, the children. Faith is not
the issue.
This requires precision and skill,
and my hands used to shake here.
I have no room to doubt myself, or
to focus on any other outcome or
reality or possibility except the single
one I am fixated on. It does not
matter what anyone else is doing.
I do not have to go and live my life
doing this and ignoring my
own needs and desires. But I recognize
that I have the tools, I have the
experience, and I have the resources.
I know what to do, and now I have to
let myself simply do it.
