Point taken, Perna; and i agree on all points.
When I was 30's-even into my 40's--I thought (mind again) I knew what people were like......and I was always wrong.

My inner voice (intuition-what ever one cares to call it) learned from all the experiences I had had, to discern who was who, and what was what--------I was a bookworm as a younger woman, and as a child---what I read--I feel. I read much poetry, and I have had some works published.

I can feel in the writing of others

it is only because I had these experiences , that I am able to fly blind now........theo
