Do You Get Inklings?

May be it's because I grew up with a mom where inklings are the norm. She'd say, I had an inkling, or, I have an inkling. It was just normal.

I've heard it called spidey sense, intuition, 6th sense, 22nd sense, other sense, inner sense, guidance, gut feeling, heart feeling, goosebumps and more.

What's yours?

I like the word inkling because it twinkles. It has a bit of spark and sparking.

Mom got inklings, always a nice think, I have an inkling.

Intuition Binds

 
Intuition is the binder between art and science. It is the part that pulls it all together. It is what gives it that life, that spark.       - Frank Bender


 - Frank Bender (1941 – 2011) forensics modeler (facial reconstruction) DNA Mysteries: The Search for Adam National Geographic

Mr. Bender was one of the world’s few forensic sculptors. He used art, crime solving, science, archeological reconstruction and intuition as he worked with skulls to render faces as they might have looked in life.

Calling himself a Recomposer of the Decomposed, the FBI, INTERPOL, Scotland Yard and National Geographic archeologists called on him to solve difficult cases, including many cold cases.

In The Search for Adam Bender said, "I picture this person very much alive, with a lot of the basic feelings we have today, confidence at one point, insecurity or hope at another."

And he said, "When it comes down to it, art has to supplement science."

I love how human intuition is,
how much a bridge between life and death intuition is.

What Amazing Time



Experiment. Certain classical musics are said to elevate our learning, subliminally or consciously. So, listen to some while working on a project, studying.

The amazing thing, to me, is the telepathy. Beginning life as a dancer, my body and nervous system were the receiver and transmitter of music. Think about it. We hear story, we hear music created in another time, now. We have access to so many brilliant stories now, in so many mediums. We are indeed lucky, lucky, lucky.

Be Excellent Unto Each Other












Be excessively nice to each other

Be adorable to each other always

Be excellent unto each other

I love these phrases.
They are some of the good-byes Stephen Fry speaks at the end of shows of Qi Quite Interesting BBC-2.

Mr. Fry uses language in juicy, twisty, funny ways that a brain, heart, emotion loves.

So,
be delightedly excellent among each other today! and tonight!
