Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

So, yesterday we used a phrase that made us think, ‘Damn, that’d’ be an interesting phrase to base a post on!’

[Time Loop Warning: we’re writing this then, as opposed to waiting until now to write it. Messed up, no? But it’s true. Now, before I get in so deep as to totally denature the energy matrix of the day ahead (yesterday, to you non-Believers*) I’ll stop with the phase. See what our future-self makes of this idea.]

Stop reading…. seriously, stop reading! Better yet, close your eyes, for just a secon….

 

awright! We’re gonna get metaphysical on yer…

Wait. No. No we are not.

This is a serious blog. It concerns itself with a subject affecting us all that, while not six floors up from Lawrencium, the matter of personality types and how we relate ourselves to the world around and the people who make it up is not Telly Tubbies, by any stretch of the imagination.

So, to the topic of the day! Leap(s) of Faith.

We looked it up (favorite part of writing) and, shock as it may come to Readers, we disagree with the meaning of the phrase: (a) leap of faith. (parentheses ours).

Most returns on a query: the origin if this phrase, credit Søren Kierkegaard. And most say he didn’t really say it, but the thing is (they all figure) he meant it. So check out the link under his name, back earlier in this sentence.

Full Disclosure: While this post is really interesting, the thing weighing most heavily on our mind is, what song best encapsulates this meaning, if not the intent of this post? Of course, what you should be doing is looking up Regine Olsen (drawing at the top). Quite the rock ‘n roll tragedy.

Faith is at the heart of the phrase. Faith is a funny thing, in a non-rational way. Like most the non-rational sort of things in life, not only is faith (imo) not a product of logic or reason or arithmetic, it has a quality that is pretty recognizable.

…gots to run I have to go to work, which, in and of itself, benefits by a certain leaping approach.
