What would I say? If I had a platform and a podium and the undivided attention of those people who really mattered to me.
"I'm okay."
And I might just leave it at that. I might chicken out and say nothing else. I might wonder if my words matter. I might spare those who matter to me from the hard core stuff that I share so openly on my blogs. I might look in their eyes and rethink my freedom of speech. But to tell them, to tell everyone that "I'm okay"; maybe that is all I need to say.
I guess that is what I would like everyone to understand. I am not someone that needs fixing. I'm on a journey. I am bound to hit bumps in the road. But I'm okay.
This journey through Atheism for Lent has been enriching for me. I have been given a look inside the windows of many a soul and have found more beauty in the empty hearts. Empty hearts always have room for others.
