I've often tried to explain to others how I can "know something without knowing it." As you might imagine, just from reading the previous sentence, it's not a simple thing to explain and even when I find words that work for me, the understanding on another's part is a kind head nod with blank eyes at best.
I relate best with children & animals... The ones who I know can sense the same things... And who also are naïve to man's ugliness.
Joey says I'm, "amazing." I said, "I know." (But it still felt AMAZING to be told)
