Searching for Enough: The High-Wire Walk Between Doubt and Faith

by Tyler Staton

So here you are, inserted as a character into a story you didn’t author, a story that was being written long before you became aware of it and will go on being written long after you leave it. Here you are, experiencing the unfathomable potential of this life while also occasionally being reminded of the nagging, inescapable reality of recurring darkness. Or maybe it’s the other way around. For you, it’s the darkness of this world that is most obvious, and you occasionally get a splash of the very good potential, like a single ray of sunshine that breaks, for just a moment, through dark clouds on a gloomy day. The limited days of our lives are wedged between these two forces, so how do we live on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon? The way I see it, we are always choosing between two options: either we fight the darkness or change the subject.
