So, there is no question, nor answer that I solicit from you.

Fair enough.

Just curious, do the questions you have ever get answered ?

Do they lead to more questions ?

Do you think your questions CAN be answered ?

1. Yes, they do, from the most unlikely of sources, as long as I can keep my mouth shut, my eyes open, my monkey mind (Buddhist term I borrowed) froma a thousand ‘what if’s’, and accept the answer, as it is, instead of, “Nah! That CAN”T be!”

2. My mind is not “why, why, why WHY?” I operate in the more logical, “If it is x, then it is ‘yes’. If it is not x, then it is ‘no’.” Anything outside of these parameters, for what ever reason, I just smile, and say ‘ok’, and go on.

3. Yes, I do. It is harder for someone to sit there, and tell me that Deity will not provide a means to seeking what I inquire about, then for someone, anyone or me to approach Deity boldly, and seek answers of things I know not.

All of my questions are ‘how’. The why’s come in that moment of forehead slap, or that moment of clarity that becomes ‘yes’. The when’s I don’t ask, I’m 60, so why mess up the happiness I have in being 60? I never expected to live past 21! The who’s don’t get asked, because it is up to me for the who part. The what’s are among the watch and see department. The where’s get the watchful eyes. too.

I believe that this will answer your questions. I was schooled by a Yiddish friend, when the time was right. I was mentored by a lay Messianic minister, another time, when I needed to learn a few more things. I am a card-carrying ordained priest through the Universal Life Church. Does that mean that I’ve stopped learning? NOPE!!!
