"he had in mind to divorce her quietly."
Joseph's "fork in the road. "
Follow what appeared to be the just, logical decision; clearly within his rights and far more merciful than the cultural norm.
Or
Lean into the woowoo of dreams and angels.
It's a big leap. There's a grand canyon between the two possibilities.
No straddling the divide.
What side do you stand on when your heart defies logic, culture and heritage?
Or
When your intuition, the "sixth sense," doesn't line up with what the mind believes to be true or has experienced?
How do we defy gravity and provide freedom to our right brains (our dreams, imaginations, creativity) and spirits when we're co-dependent on left brain function?
Logical decisions made within cultural and familial norms rarely capture the attention of others.
They're "quiet."
However, the decisions inspired by woowoo, gain the attention of Time's Square on New Year's Eve!
Not only do they get noticed by others, they are like an alarm that awakens something within that cannot be put back to sleep.
So, what do you do when you confronted with a fork in the road of logic and woo?
