Was I impetuous? Appropriate?
The operations of the human mind reveal themselves when they do not ask to be revealed. They reveal themselves when coerced by necessity; within the instance of sudden confusion, the snap of a finger, the flicker of a flame. When we do not have time to think, the mind thinks for us. Who is doing the thinking in this case?
I am amazed at how quickly I can act in these situations. Almost without thinking, the words, the mood, the answer, comes to me. I am steering course somewhere, I am settled without knowing what or where I am settling. Knowing, and yet not knowing: two levels operating at once. Is it the spirit of survival that kicks in?
