Here's how you know if religion is right for you.
Put your faith in your hands.
If it weighs them down, leave it at your feet.
If your hands stay still, put it back in your heart and let it stew for a bit.
If your hands somehow rise above where they were before, put it in your pocket, because you're gonna need it where we're going.
For those with empty pockets and hearts,
keep your eyes open.
If something strikes your fancy along the way, tuck it in your jeans.
Eventually, you will make your own faith.
And if you feel that you need no faith or religion
then walk straight and steady
because we all need something to push us forward.
