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?
