Blind Faith.
How nice it would be to see the invisible force that guides me. How nice to know that I am following that guidance. Calm and still are the leading I receive.
Blind Faith. That is our only sure force to follow.
It always remains that there is such confidence when the timing and the efforts are clears within my mind . That feeling of sincere adoration.
It is good that we are veiled from such things. Sometimes 'Believing is seeing'.
