Help for poor Ralph

Ralph -- I have only known you for more years that I care to remember. And
never have I found you to be at a loss for words or explanations. The
problem with Principle #2 (Whatever happens. . .) is simply that it is too
simple for your complex mind. A blinding flash of the obvious, as it were.
It simply acknowledges the fact that what is going on is going on. Dog in
woods sort of thing (thank you Michael). this may seem unimportant, but when
we spend all of our time worrying about what might happen, could happen,
should happen -- we often lose sight of what is happening. And when that
occurs -- we miss out on all the great stuff happening now.
