Faith is the binding force of love, for it encourages us to take a leap for someone and embrace their connection. Without faith in ourselves and others, we are lost in a morass of ambiguities that stifle our capacity to live full, loving lives. Faith also implies choice; in a sense, we are who we choose to love. In her choice to love me, my Grandmother changed my life, and in who I choose to love, I hope I can return the favor.
