Reply #5: I can't remember names

But I am pretty good at directions. I love Google Earth. I think I am all about MAPS!! (Just don't add any more dimensions to that.) A map is a good symbol for where we are. Maps are the symbols that I "get" more. I had a great time trying to figure out where I went in Kyoto from Google Earth, so I could put my pictures in just the right spot! I'd rather do that than meet someone new and have to talk to them.

My problem with some poems is that they can't be taken in by my eye easily. I am so much of a "big picture" person that I translate things that way. I can read a book, but I prefer books with illustrations. I would much rather read a photojournal of travels than a journal. It is easier on my brain, and I just get more out of it.

Some of this helps me notice things out in the landscape. I've never really been into plants or gardens or anything, but I can identify a surprising number of different plant species. I think I might start bird watching. That activity sort of fits my brain. Are you this way with the landscape?

You are a programmer, and I've done a bit of that and was pretty good at it. I always did best with math in school.

Is it a little hard for you to meditate? It is for me. My monkey mind is always off visualizing something else. That's why I know all about devices, like the orgone things. I need all the help I can get. Sometimes I can get into a somewhat altered state while my left brain remains in full control. I can't shut it down. On the plus side, I would make a really bad victim of mind control. LOL.

This is a very wordy post for someone not much into words.
