    I am something like a carrot, yet to be unearthed,
    I am something like a table,
    I am something like a see-saw too.

    I am something like a marble, rolling down a hill,
    I am something like a parcel,
    I am something like the colour of skies.

    I am something like something else.

    I prefer to think of it as the gift of the good, rather than God, particularly because the term “God” is so heavily baggaged. In this I have been inspired for many years by Plato and others, but especially Stephen David RossStatilius

    Thank you for this, and more.
    I need to start practising philosophy's 'Principle of Charity'.
    Whenever God is mentioned, my mind turns away. Whenever there is a suggestion of anything being a Gift from God, I too substitute or omit the word.

    An email correspondence with an ex-poster linked me to Stephen David Ross and his book:

    After reading the summary and scanning the 20page excerpt, I bought the kindle version.
    Amazon has its faults - however it allows great accessibility to books.

    I don't think it will be an easy read for me.
    Perhaps you will hear me cry, "Aidez-moi !"
