Faith is not, contrary to the usual ideas,
something that turns out to be right or wrong, like a gamblers bet,
it's an act, an intention, a project, something that makes you, in leaping into the future,
go so far, far, far ahead that you shoot clean out of time and right into eternity,
which is not the end of time or a whole lot of time or unending time,
but timelessness, that old external now.
