Do I have faith? Or do I believe? 'Cause from where I'm standing now? Yeah, I believe. If you'd asked me this question before, I think I might have said that I had faith.
After all, how many people do you know that are born on a planet so polluted you can't see the stars who grow up to pilot a ship through those same stars? Had to have been some kind of higher power at work there, right? And to be lucky enough to be in the right place, at the right time, to meet the love of my life? Oh, yeah. Definitely someone or something looking over my shoulder then.
Never really thought about who or what that someone or something might have been, but had faith that he, she or it was guiding me, especially the day I asked the lovely Zoë to be my wife, and she said yes. Was so scared she was going to laugh in my face. Don't think I would ever have had the courage to ask, if it hadn't been for the faith I had that we were meant to be together.
Now, though? Sure, I still believe. Not so sure about the faith part any more. Oh, we did the right thing. Don't get me wrong. But the dying part? Still puzzled about how that fits into the grand scheme of my life. Always had faith I'd live to grow old with my warrior woman. What happened? Did you blink?
