It's all very confusing to me, so I found your explanation really useful. I can identify moments when I have had a similar experience. I'll feel little more confident about building on that now, I've always felt uncomfortable about making my own interpretations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199387660357003170.post-45708674087621450742012-02-06T19:08:17.588-05:002012-02-06T19:08:17.588-05:00Gwen, that really is the only way I can learn some...Gwen, that really is the only way I can learn something "new" after all these years - by being open to personal revelation while I'm there. <br /><br />Anonymous, perhaps I didn't explain well enough, but I'm not "making stuff up" when I do this.
