RantWoman has been praying, upholding discernment about a circumstance in her Meeting community. RantWoman is VERY clear about a call to uphold others' discernment rather than venture anything on her own. RantWoman is VERY clear that there is a remarkable story involved and that fewer Friends than formerly are even aware of the story.
A number of circumstances have aligned that MAY offer RantWoman's Meeting the opportunity to hear the remarkable story firsthand; one point of remarkable stories, though, is that sometimes they depend on readiness, willingness to hear.
RantWoman is meditating about whether soil could be tilled in her Meeting so that the remarkable story could be heard. RantWoman suspects she herself is the wrong person even to try right now. RantWoman also thinks perhaps limitations in her capacity to run amok with search engines on the internet are just as well because even posting such links as RantWoman might find would not be respectful of discernment already occurring and might draw the wrong attention to the beginning of the journey that is now the remarkable story.
RantWoman has also been given to understand that another circumstance could still have arisen to get in the way of hearing the remarkable story directly.
RantWoman is pointedly not posting links about the now phase of the remarkable story although there are links that could be posted. The second circumstance probably also comes with links all over the internet and RantWoman most specifically and pointedly is not going there either.
So RantWoman is praying, praying for wise discernment; RantWoman sees much evidence of such so far but continues to pray as new phases unfold. RantWoman invites her readers to do so as well.
Meanwhile, a few days ago, the remarkable story got to ride in a car and pet a cat and hug loved ones without supervision. Unremarkable to many; remarkable here.
This post was originally written several days ago. Now the remarkable story has introduced himself after Meeting for Worship as a member of the Monroe Worship Group and come to a public picnic. RantWoman is very glad the story came to the picnic BECAUSE RantWoman now feels more at liberty to post a link to some of the now part of the remarkable story.
