Insight

You know that "Aha!" moment?
I was reading an article about it. The human brain is fascinating. I'm convinced it's the biggest miracle of the world. The more we learn about it, the more we realize how little we know.
I loved the imagery in the article - the "conductor" stands at the podium right inside your forehead. He directs the brain from there.
Insight doesn't repond well to intensity. You have to leave it alone for a bit. You can't push it. You put in all the details and walk away.
Just like memory - I'll think of it, he says. I'll think of it. And sure enough - when he's brushing his teeth, there it is. Crossword puzzles are another good example. The word is so close. You fall asleep and when you pick it up with the second cup of coffee, there it is. Magic.
The left hemisphere is the "strictly business" part of the brain. The right hemisphere is the "let's go for a walk and relax" part of the brain. Insight seems to come from here.
