Balance

During my twenties, while studying for my B.A. and then my Ph.D., I focused, intently, on developing what is usually called my ”left brain”, my logical, scientific, cause and effect side.  For the next decade or so I made primary use of that aspect of my brain, while also feeling that something was missing.  Then, recognizing the source of my imbalance, I began trying to develop my intuitive, creative, feeling side (right brain).  I am still striving for the correct balance since, as Maharaj puts it “Mind creates the abyss, the heart crosses it.”  Today, I began (again!) the study of English grammar, in order to improve my writing, a creative process that will require both parts of my brain.
