Finally...

Part the Third of what has turned into a series. Part One recounted my "Speck-in-the-Grand-Scheme-of-Things" feeling. Part Two recounted my "Apple-of-His-Eye" feeling. Part three here deals with the reconciling of those disparate feelings.

A couple nights ago I found this in Lewis' A Grief Observed:
"Heaven will solve our problems, but not, I think, by showing us subtle reconciliations between all our apparently contradictory notions. The notions will all be knocked from under our feet. We shall see that there never was any problem. . . . . that impression which I can't describe except by saying that it's like the sound of a chuckle in the darkness. The sense that some shattering and disarming simplicity is the real answer."

It's the Stargate paradigm again: we're trying to solve a base-twelve equation using base-eight. What more needs to be said?
Except, Relax!
