“You Have to Ask the Question” (watercolor and meditation by nakedpastor)

I’m not saying there is no god.
But you have to enter the dark winter and ask yourself that question.
I’m not saying your holy book is the meaningless chatter of fantasy.
But you have to enter the dark winter and ask yourself that question.
I’m not saying life has no meaning.
But you have to enter the dark winter and ask yourself that question.

I have no idea how long your dark winter will be.
I suppose it depends on your courage
and the sincerity of your question.
I suppose it depends on whether you really want to know
and on your resilience with whatever answer comes.
If one ever does come.
But you have to ask the question.
You have to enter the dark winter.
