Oh, no. That is not what it is. Nor is it the supposed "too intellectual".
Neither of those things applies.
What does apply, is finding out the rules of situations. Therapists are modern-day alchemists, still fumbling to discover those rules. I sympathize with them, but part of what drives them is trying to figure themselves out.
We all face that. Just as accepting what you have is the beginning of being content, accepting what you are is the beginning of realizing what you need to do to grow.
Engineering is much simpler. But you don't need to dumb anything down. It takes all the intellectual fire-power anyone can summon to do that job properly, because it involves every talent humanity has struggled with for all the ages; observation, experiment, practice, and flawless execution.
And then on the next assignment, you have to do it all over again.
We are all mere seedlings, with our feet planted in the dirt, and the blessings raining down on us, and the glory bedazzling us every day.
And with a spirit that tells us to accept it, to take it in, to make it all a part of us, and to find a way to make all of this into something more.
I must’a had a leftover sermon in me from Sunday.
Have no fear!!
Life is never fair, though she is very generous with those things she thinks we need to learn from.
As for me, I’m often questioning the mundane. I mean, how does someone take advantage of the absolute comfort of a heated mattress pad? Or the insanely senuous joy of deeply chocolate ice cream? Or how about the intense warmth of hot oatmeal in your mouth when it has been smothered with milk and brown sugar?
Of course, I could be totally out in Left Field with this...but life seems to deal us more of one thing and less than another. We need to learn where the balance is.
You just have to dumb it down enough for me. ;-D
