It brings me much pain that I have not had the presence or influence of a father figure in my life, at least that of a good one. However I have found such missed presence in that of the Father of all things. For I have not the father in which one would traditionally imagine to bring any disappointment or pride to my actions. I have not felt the moving inspirations of a man that so many look to for motivations and encouragement. Nor even have I felt the shameful stare or heard such voice that would ward one away from committing such acts as would be seen as wrong. I have been robbed of the opportunity to know the love of someone with such importance that it may have any meaning unto me. Yet, in such circumstances, I have found hope. For there is something, and still.. someone, far beyond all that could be affected by anything of this world. For even if in my life I lack such a figure as a father, I know that beyond time, and beyond all that I know, I have a Father who’s image of me is above all that is. In such a being my life has been secured and a witness unto my existing has been given. But I should not say I have found. Rather, I have uncovered such a truth that has existed all along, through-out all of time. It took not exploration, but disection of that which would seek to cover up the truth, to find such a being that would bring peace unto my life. I hope you all find the same.

With all hope of future joys,

Taylor M. Wilson.
