Explain Electricity

Everybody believes them without a murmur of doubt. Why this ready acceptance? Simply because it is impossible to explain what we see, feel, direct, and use, without a reasonable assumption as a starting point. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Locations 758-759)

For some folks it would be easy to explain electricity.
It wouldn't be for me. I walked through a museum today
with a three-year-old twin (sometimes one, others, the other)
and they stopped to watch paper cups blow into the air,
to dig for fossils, to watch trains run or practice checking groceries.
They studied with awe a demonstration of the stars, the galaxies,
the constellations then wandered through displays of drilling for oil.
And they accepted it all, natural, in the course of their days.
They have questions a plenty, but they believe in miracles
and don't have to ponder just how they happen.

Recovery comes hard for people who have put childish things aside,
who wish to argue, to explain, to justify, to deconstruct.
But those who have come to the point of insanity in that way
and have recovered...these have discovered the mysteries abound,
have learned to act as if and find that that's the truth,
to trust because it happened to someone else it can happen to me
no matter what logical thinking demands to set up as a starting point,
the explanation necessary to commence to believe.
