Sometime in the last 2 years, Peter started believing in God again. He got his faith back and I didn't knowTHAT FREAKS ME OUT! Peter never does something I don't know about! Believe me. I know when he had sex because he has that look. I know when he's hungry or thirsty or in pain but not telling anyone. I know when he's happy, I know when he'

Even at five hundred and change years, it would be hubris of me to think I had any of the answers to the questions of faith. All any of us can do is find the places to look that feel right to us. Personally, I left faith behind a long time ago, though I did sometimes go back to it as a security blanket. I found faith comfortable, and maybe that in itself is proof that I didn't have true faith. I think true faith is constantly confronting, at odds with conflicting elements in the world and the self. If you can hold onto it despite that, I think that is what defines faith. I see that in the way you stand by your friends and family despite everything. If you can find that connection to an ideal, something you can live your life by, I think that is the key to finding a broader faith. But that's just me. You may have an entirely different idea

No, that's pretty much how I feel too. And I was like that, in life. You know me. I'm not very monk-like and yet I was a monk because I loved my faith. It was always a struggle to stay there. To be that person. It was. But I did it. And now I can't anymore, and that's that.

I just wish I'd known is all. I always know. It's...strange. Yes. After crisis.

You just look after her, alright, Baby?

[lady_with_thee]

You've grown, and that's not something to be lamented. The door on faith may be closed, at least for now, but there are so many that have been opened to you in the meantime. Like being married to me!

I think that could very well be a maxim in life, Thomas always knows. You still walk very much with Peter. I know you always will.

I'll take the very best care of her, Thomas, I promise.

That's my favourite door, thanks!

Well...Thomas mostly knows? I know I do. And will. Forever.

I know that too. My beautiful Mary.

[lady_with_thee]

Excellent, excellent!

Haha, I can live with that. Thomas mostly knows, indeed.

My beautiful Thomas. I love you.

[suave_thomas]

Thomas knows he missed his Mary somethin' chronic.

I love you too, Darlin'.

[lady_with_thee]

Just as I missed you, my dearest love. Watching you from afar just isn't the same, though I do love watching you lead your life. I'm so proud of you. I want you to know that.

[suave_thomas]

That's the best thing I could hope to hear. That you're proud.

[lady_with_thee]

Then I'm very glad I'm here to say it.
