Point to PonderWhy shouldn't truth be stranger than Fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense. —Mark Twain The first time I heard this quote it was shared with me by Christine Comaford Lynch. Periodically it surfaces in my consciousness, especially when I am discussing innate giftedness with someone who says, “But it doesn’t make sense! Why am I so different from my mother or ___________ (you supply the name)?” Or “I should be able to make myself do that task, and yet I procrastinate. It’s not logical!” My response is “yes” to both of those comments. The truth about what your brain does easily may not make conventional sense, but it certainly can make sense in terms of current brain-function information applied to your own innate giftedness!
