Religion is about mystery — or at least, it is at its best. Religion is also about community, ritual, and forgiveness of oneself and others. And I think you already have all that.

That reminded me of a Yann Martel interview I read, in which Martel described a good story and a good religion as working in the same way. Martel said, “It’s called ‘suspension of disbelief’ in fiction. It’s called ‘faith’ in religion. A story only works if we let it work, if we open our hearts to it. The saddest thing on earth is people who have no stories.”

While you might not have began the adventure called Sophie with a ready made net under you, I think you are constructing one – bit by bit, story by story.
