there is something i don't understand about Radical Acceptance.    A Key thing.    I will take this question to the next Gathering at the Well.   ask Wendy.   She always says….can you give us an example?   I saw this this morning.   Perfect.

there was a brief window of time when my kids were little…they were 3 years apart…when both  were wondering and asking about the God thing.   And     I     also was.    Wondering.

So…what i came up with,  for them,   and for myself was…….Well….what about   all the astoundingly amazing things?…all the Beauty,   all the magically beauty Full amazing things….      WHY?   All the myriad forms….of insects,  of   Butterflies…so easy an example,  of the fish in oceans,  their incredibly extravagant coloration , design  and magical form….    Why not just brown things?

if things…like fish,  like insects,   are          food    wouldn't just variations of brown work?    their movement would attract enough?      or….if color mattered,   then that too.    But that's not  how it is.   There is so much MORE…..this spider for  instance…i lost the words to the pic but it's an Australian spider…..this spider…….What On Earth is ALL THIS  FOR  ?

All i could come up with is that there must be some Crazy Wonderfull INTELLIGENCE  …."out there" ….beyond anything we can imagine    that LOVES  Beauty and Magical form that would provide these things for US…for the living beings of this planet to thrill us,  to makes us Wonder,  to pull us toward Its Self,  to pull us Out   …….    toward It…….to make us ask the questions that might help us Grow as a species

this answer is faulty…but it's still the answer i have today.   What extraordinary kind of Intelligence might GIVE this?

    A shallow comment in response to your deep and questioning thoughts…
    That spider instantly reminded me of one of Margery’s amazing masks.
    Just that is what I have tonight.

    you called to mind a wonderful song by Walt Wilkins …
    I can’t explain a blessed thing
    Not a fallen star or a feathered wing
    Or how a man in chains has the strength to sing
    Just one thing is clear to me
    There’s always more than what appears to be
    And when the light’s just right, I swear I see

    Looking forward to your question .. and the answer. Each gathering brings new insight .. I’m learning things about myself that I do not like.

    It is a perplexing question, the reason for such diversity. And why I feel in several dire circumstances that myself and others say they have encountered guardian angels.. and and and….

    Every single cell of any being comes from the success of the beings that begat it.
    We are the only ones who struggle with the big Why of life and long for a Conductor. Life conducts itself.

    it’s not a struggle for me…it’s
