Finding my Faith?

Writing my application to the NYU summer publishing program is like pulling teeth, but it's definitely forcing me to do some real evaluation of what matters to me.

I kind of surprised myself with this throwaway paragraph. I think I may have found what I really have faith in?


I hope I am not overly poeticizing the industry in stating It is in the endless and unshakeability of the human spirit of creativity that I believe. I take the endurance of religion and publishing as a matter of faith. That these forces have endured is a testament to their importance. They have meaning through their continuity.

Huh... I don't know. Humans can't stop creating stuff, and I love that. I really do.
