Vindication

About 20 minutes into waiting for another airport verification at my gate, a guy tells me boldly I was cutting the line. I reply something like I've been there for a while and it's not fair to go back to the end of it as he was suggesting... who knows how many people came behind me in 20 minutes...?
 
But he insists, and mentiones he saw me coming from the side, so I remember there was hardly a "line," but rather a crowd o people waiting to enter another waiting area, where being first did not make any difference, as by this time everybody had seat and category assigned...

I consider his assertion though, and do not advance, while some people behind me indifferently accept I cannot go back right at the very end.... 

The guy finally gets his turn for document verification, but apparently he has no boarding pass. He is arguing with the man in charge till the officer tells him as clearly as he can there is no way of passing without ticket, so my guy needs to make his way back to front desk to get it...
 
I had a good amount of sitting in a lounger, when see the guy entering the area, visibly exhausted and distressed, just in time for boarding the airplane...

Freedom is an outset.      Why people talk about getting old at 40? It is a new life that begins here, maybe a new form of childhood. When you are rediscovering everything without the typical child-like clumsiness, hesitation, or ambiguity. It is a stage where known feelings are elevated through a form of consciousness that gives a sense of freedom. It feels like a new self, and yet... the same soul; rejuvenating like a new set of clo...

Faith

Why do I believe in God? Because life I know seems meaningless without it. My choice, in a way... I am not satisfied with the way life goes. I want to reach beyond it, and God is the only way through which I see myself going farther. I do not want, neither need, exhaustive evidence about God's existence. That would no longer be faith . Even the Bible defines faith as a belief in things unseen, --or to extrapolate-- understood. There you go then... belief in unbelievable. I got used with a form of mystery to the point of liking it. To the point of becoming a state of being. Living on a glimpse... To swing on some airy spider lines. Elusive, they are actually tremendously resilient...
