This I Believe

Sometimes I'm not sure what I believe.  Or rather, I don't know how to express my beliefs in a way that would be coherent enough to allow others to understand them.  I think that is why the This I Believe segment I hear on NPR always transfixes me.  Every so often I'll catch one of the essays (people write and submit an essay on their belief then if they are selected read it aloud for the audience) and I'm always enthralled.  It doesn't matter if the belief is completely alien to me or if it resonates deeply.  They are all beautifully written and have something meaningful to say.  This website showcases all of the essays from our time as well as those from the 50s when the series first started.  I hope you will take the time to listen and if you decide to write an essay of your own link it to me and I'll check it out.

What do you believe?
