Fresca, thanks for more food for thought. No secret "secret," yes, I agree. But I will chew more on what I think is going on when there is something seen by me that others can't or won't see - it may be real as real, but to someone else it's sci fi, because they can't believe it exists. Does this fit with what I just said? I don't know, and so must ponder... Deb, I’m glad you’re back and hope you feel refreshed.

But really the father's success was based on his enthusiasm and kindness and self-confidence--the noodle soup was just noodle soup. I see your point about levels of belief, but what I liked about the panda point was that there IS no secret "secret": it's all right in plain sight. I think God is like that: we want sci-fi miracles when the miracle is more amazing than that--and right in front of us. Like the mailbox.
