The Creed of Maria Sharpe

I know that this credo is not 250 words, but considering I have never been one for strict regulations I think it is fitting that my credo is a little rebellious.

I believe in being among the

young at heart.

I believe in all the gods –

I just don’t like some of them.

I believe war is constant –

and in contradicting myself.

I believe in fairies, elves, angels,

Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.

I have seen and heard ghosts.

I believe that science is the answer.

The threshold is numinous,

and the way in is the way out.

I believe in the numbers – all of them –

and that in the equations lay the answers.

I believe dancing is medicine for the soul, that the heart

beat invented rhythm and music –.

or is it the other way around –

I believe in the wisdom of my mother.

I believe that forgiveness saves lives

and love makes it worth living them.

And that could be the other way around, too.
