Salik, Bill!,
To an extent, faith is Trust.
Of course, experience is the Great Leveler; but, even after that, trust is
"something to rely on", because we know we can. ;-)
I call it faith; I also call it trust. I'm probably not the only one.
If I am, I'll be greatly surprised, as in, a dis-believer.
My Sufi-name is "Nur". Fitting, for an Astronomer.
But at times, I've also specialized in "invisible" parts of 'the' spectrum.
Fitting for a Practitioner.
Greetings, in this Season of Light(s)!,
