one acquired, as a child in school memorizes facts and concepts from books and from what the teacher says, collecting information from the traditional sciences as well as from the new sciences.
With such intelligence you rise in the world.
You get ranked ahead or behind others
in regard to your competence in retaining
information. You stroll with this intelligence
in and out of fields of knowledge, getting always
more marks on your preserving tablets.
There is another kind of tablet, one
already completed and preserved inside you.
A spring overflowing its springbox. A freshness
in the center of the chest. This other intelligence
does not turn yellow or stagnate. It's fluid,
and it doesn't move from outside to inside
through conduits of plumbing-learning.
This second knowing is a fountainhead
from within you, moving out.
Rumi - Poet, Philosopher

Hi...I linked to here from your post on "Daily Om"...Suzy was indeed a beautiful animal. I've been through some hard endings myself (with cats), and, yeah...it is VERY hard. You are writing some great thoughts here in Suzy's memory...
Thank you for your kind comments.
Yes, it IS hard to lose a pet or a
friend of any kind. All we can do is remember the good times and warm feelings and appreciate the friends we currently DO have in our lives,
be they furry, human, plant or tree!
For all living things bring their own energy. We are all one.
