So true. Animals hold so many mysteries... and they can't tell us about any of them. We just have to learn from them by observation. When my dog stares at me, I think: "What are you trying to say?". That stare can have so many different meanings: "I wanna go out"... "I want a treat" ... "I adore you" ... "You're the most fascinating person in the world" (lol)...
Animals, birds, (and other living things) have instincts we've never even imagined.

Yes, that's probably true, Jackie. A few years ago I noticed myself disregarding flashes of insight which came to me for just a few seconds while trying to make a decision. I then realized that I was dismissing these flashes of insight off the bat, not giving them a chance, because I didn't trust my own thinking. So I decided that in the future, I would stop and catch these flashes when they happened and I would follow up on them. You'd be surprised what a difference it has made in my life. All kinds of good ideas have flourished. This online group is only one of them.

Hmmm, I wonder, can instincts ever steer us wrong? Or perhaps they're not instincts, but simply the result of wisdom learned from experience.
