Believe to understand

Yesterday, the whole crew of teachers boarded a ferry linking the mainland with Penang for a half-day trip to Georgetown. A while after we left the jetty Sylwia asked me why the sea was so colourful. "Maybe it's meant to be beautiful," I replied though I didn't know where the answer came from. "Maybe it's meant to be beautiful and so it must be colourful."

"Seek not to understand so that you may believe, but believe so that you may understand." -- Augustine of Hippo

I love Sylwia's curiosity.
