I can throw around certain diagnostic language as a stab at explaining how/why my brain works the way it does. But this just a throwing a label on a cluster of mental phenomena, so it doesn't really say much. It's part of what opens me up to creative ideas, but how I get ideas, not the triggers for them, but the alchemy going on in my brain, it's a mystery to me. I may respond to verbal stimuli with strong mental imagery, but I can't explain why that happens or why they are so odd and arresting.
I'm pretty self-aware about the features of my mind, but that's different than knowing why it does these things.
The practical upshot of this is that rather than trying to ignore my flaws, I've learned to compensate. Stuff like tracking devices on keys and wallet.
As the “Ed Sullivan feeling” approaches, your Sunday evening posts are always a comfort. It was way before your time, but the Ed Sullivan show was the last fun thing to look forward to before the start of the school week. With all the tumultuous events this weekend, it was particularly welcome.
Your understanding and focus on the fonder memories of your father through music is a beautiful gift. Continue to nurture your softer side and your flourishing garden!
