Oona, I rarely post to this board but reading your post made me think of how I see life. We hear about the 'web of life' & how ecologically, everything is connected. But I see life more as a rich tapestry - threads interwoven through one another into a beautiful rich picture, not just a pleasing design. If you remove or break some of the threads, the picture still remains but looks a little thread worn. Take away too many threads & the tapestry starts deteriorating.
The design & pattern to make a beautiful picture like life is meant to be took a Designer. It's far, far too complicated to just have happened by chance. I think we're still at the stage of being partially colourblind. Sort of like those tests they use for people who are partially colour blind - they can see part of the pattern but not all of it. We see a lot of the pictures in the tapestry but as we learn more & especially as we open our hearts, more of the picture shows in greater beauty than we thought possible. The flaws are not in the tapestry but in us, ouselves, who often can't see clearly.
