This I believe...

This week's Friday Five could actually keep me going for weeks, I think. To distill so much into 5 points is horribly reminiscent of one of the "personal inventory" questions beloved of Bishops' Selectors...
Now, as then, I've far more that I'd want to say,- images, words, music that could say things better. But for today this is my semi-serious attempt at 5 essentials of belief

• That God’s love is utterly inexhaustible, unconquerable and unconditional

• That the best is yet to be

• That nothing is beyond transformation ,- all in the end is harvest

• That everyone has a story that’s worth hearing, and deserves to be heard

• That life is for love and time only that we may find God (thank you Augustine)

I have one additional belief, a notable example of the triumph of hope over experience, that one day I shall finish something ahead of deadline. See belief no 3!

Belated edit
NB VERY IMPORTANT POSTSCRIPT. How could I have forgotten? Many of my friends will already be aware that I do, of course, believe in repetition...
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then all I can say is that GB04 was really rather wonderful...but that's no surprise either.
