growing faith in the wild
Ooh, let's run to the wild,
And get a clear view of everything.
(Broken halos King & Country et. al. +2022)
I join the imaginary exodus out of “normal” life.
It has been 273 days since I began what I term my “rebirth” moment (John).
It has been 74 days since I quit the PhD candidate program.
Quit trying to be a physicist after a eight-year endeavour. Two years as a PhD candidate. Quit for … whatever comes. Can’t really be sure I am quitting for good until life presents itself to me the outcomes … in time.
I also quit a Christian young adults group, a Bible study group, and the church that I was at. I have also been ignoring most of the lessons I have heard in church so far in my twenty-six years of existence.
I quit to say yes to whatever life will have for me.
l have already found that there is room for greater connection with my family. Room for doubt. Room for fun. Room for listening to self. Knowing self, and then knowing God.
