what is it really?

Faith.
It has been voiced by the ages, credited by countless religions as reason.
We look and it and label with liberality as the stuff of weaklings, or the bread and butter of saints.

Many claim to have it who will never truly believe, while those who remain the greatest skeptics exercise it daily under the banner of reason and philosophy.
It is stronger than any steel cord wrought by man, it is wider than the universe.

Uncounted scores have attributed it's existence as their reason to live when the warm hand of death takes hold, calling them to join the shadow.
Many definitions have been subscribed, but nothing so well defines it as a life living out its substance, a life reverberating with humilty and conviction of those things we cannot see.
