Today at Church, Father John told this story:
2 friends out camping;
that night man #1 said to the other....
"Look up, What do you see?"
where upon man # 2 said "--the vastness of the Universe; the Stars--the Moon
--the Hand of the Creator; why, what do you see?"
#2 answered..." I see that someone stole our tent!"
The message being- there are times to be a Visionary AND times to be Practical.
This made me think of the recent quotes on " Brain" found on "The Quotation Page"- Google,.
..."The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning, and
does not stop until you get into the office. --- Robert Frost- 1874-1963
AND
..."Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think." Ambrose Bierce 1842-1914
AND
...If little else, the brain is an educational toy." Tom Roobins 1936--

..."Estimated amount of glucose used by an Adult Human Brain each day expressed in M & M's = 250"

Left Brain=Practical / Right Brain-Visionary
We need both sides of our Brains in order to function fully; the problems arise when 2 or more Humans,
who need to function together, find themselves caught in the dilemma of 'who is Correct'.
The "Visionary"-create, design, imagine, realize the whole, visualize the end result
The "Practical" -customize, finalize, organize, produce directions, secure production.
....each of us works best in one area
....thus needing 'opposites' to be partners.
Is one way better than another?
too much energy is spent deciding:
...which way is best
...who is correct
...who has more veracity
Time would be more productive if we could learn "to see" with both sides of our Brains,and
to learn to value "the Views" of those with whom we live & work.
In this Home, I know that I tend to be Right Brained, while Sal is definitely Left Brained;
troubles at times--sure;
did our son learn how to 'play us'--absolutely;
do we work well as a team--you betcha.
Our Brains are tested on a daily basis--it is a Good thing.
The test for today:
...visualize the world around you AS an 'opposite Brained' person might
Have fun with the exercise.
