Brilliant, beautiful, and profound! I love the succinctness of your analysis in this paragraph especially: We have faith, but our faith does not safeguard us from despair. Neither are we denied the joy of a grand slam because we have not adequately exercised the performance of faith. We are fallible, frail, aching always, beings toward death. And in that condition, we are not always cheerleaders for the possibility of a happy ending. We hope, we believe, we…have faith, but there should always be room for us to feel authentically what we feel. Perhaps it is there that we find the divine, in honest submission of our brokenness, our vulnerability.
