I know I was very opinionated, everything was black and white - for good, logical reasons.. But over the years, things have changed. Things are no longer black and white. There are blurred edges and colors everywhere. And knowledge helps that grow. We think we know so much when we're young. But life, quest for knowledge, experience brings such depth to our perspective. I think (or maybe just hope) that the opening of mind over time is simply a part of the aging process.

Divorcing myself from logic is difficult, but I've learned to let go of it a little since my daughter was born. She encourages that a spirit that is more free, one without expectation.

We're trained to expect things to make sense, to hold on to something tangible. Mama Zen, it’s not an easy thing to do.

Oh well, what do I know. I'm not about to review critics; that would just be foolish. : ) xox Jannie, yes, it’s interesting that you bring up art, because I agree with you that there’s so much leeway there and yet when I read reviews by critics, it often sounds like they know exactly how a work of art should have turned out,especially when they perceive that it didn’t turn out the way it was meant to.

Sometimes our "big brains" get in the way of our inner guidance. I often say that learning to think with our "heart-mind" is the way to expressing our Authentic-Self. Logic is a tricky one.

There are some things that logic simply can't explain. Peace! Sounds like you’re trying to describe the element of “mystery” in our lives. There are some things that logic simply can’t explain.

Peace!

My hubby is still like that! I go more by the sense of feel in life, emotion I guess. So much leeway in art. It is interesting tho, to read this. I had never stopped to ask if I were a logically-thinking person. In Physics only, I guess. Now Metaphysics for us. Glad you embraced learning new things about new people. That's always cool to do! xoxo “If a scene seemed off, I’d assume there was an explanation for it and if I didn’t find it, I’d question my ability to comprehend the clues or wonder if certain facts were being withheld.” My hubby is still like that!

Sometimes this is great, because I don't always think things through, but other times it makes me a little nuts. I don't think he's every just decided to "wing it" in his life. Is that a male thing? I don't know. I do think women are more apt to listen to intuition. My husband is very, very logical.
