Your journey paved the way
for millions (like me)
to step out of the confines of suffocating faith
into the open, breathable air
of acceptance, hope and freedom.
You helped us break through the blockade
of unnecessary certainty
to discover, just on the other side,
an actual encounter with God.
You reminded us what was core to Jesus' ministry:
There's nothing to fear.
And in your final email you wrote:
I am unreasonably happy.
