Insight

There is nothing so terrible as activity without insight.

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Elizabeth has a strange talent for taking bits of information and using them to make a point or to project an almost psychic nature or to collect disparate ideas.

A recent example occurred when we went to the outlet mall in Williamsburg near the Amana Colonies. Elizabeth and I left Maddie and Chris in a shop so that we could drop some things off at the car. On the way back to meet them, Elizabeth said, "What store were they in? Was it 'Amana Republic?'"

I told her it was Banana Republic, not Amana. And then I tried to picture what a catalogue from "Amana Republic" might look like.
