A & Q for (me!) sandra, tvgp
I am less curious, but no less awed, by our physical bodies: veins, arteries, bones, muscle..
I am enormously curious about instincts, intuition, -the heart, the mind, innate gifts and talents
having mentioned before.. myself, walking past a plant numerous times, and seeing only a plant
and another human being walking past the same plant: "tequila!"
this list of innate instincts, gifts/talents, inclinations.. and how they are distributed among humanity
how we identify them.. how early?
and to consider: prayer.
an innate instinct.. how intuitively;
at such a young age..
even without education, or exposure, in many cases
humans will pray.
and I'm curious about this too: the logistical/anatomical distinction here:
intuition belonging to the human spiritual heart
instinct to the mind.
without looking it up just yet..
instinct -for me, -something inborn: like, I experience writing as an instinct; a very strong instinct in me, but I would further say, my writing instinct is also quite specifically creative non-fiction; a documentarian/reporter of everyday life
that is my instinct.
intuition then, it is by intuition, I choose one topic over another..
intuitively, I know: skip this, write that..
now I will look them up:
instinct: an inborn pattern of activity or tendency to action common to a given biological species.
intuition: direct perception of truth, fact, independent of any reasoning process, immediate apprehension.
the dictionary does not associate one with heart, one with mind
but the Bible does..
amen.
