I have always been finding out my religion.


Today I'll let Dorothea Brooke speak for me, as she speaks to Will Ladislaw:
I have a belief of my own, and it comforts me.... That by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we don't quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power against evil--widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower.... It is my life. I have found it out, and cannot part with it. I have always been finding out my religion since I was a little girl.
-- George Eliot, Middlemarch (chapter 39)

Be well and loved, everyone. And peaceful.
