Recently, my scary thinking has turned to the whys of everything. For example, why is the sky blue, why are things shaped the way they are, colors, you name it. Not really scary, but the fear is that I cannot stop thinking and just accept. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks

Not in a spiritual sense, but what is it and who am I, what am I doing, etc. Anyone experiencing the sam...
