There are two terms--
dissonance and resonance--
that can be experienced
but not taught,
known but not learned.

They have to do with vibrations
between a body and a force
with dissimilar (with dissonance)
or similar (with resonance)
vibrating frequencies.

Discordant or resonating frequencies
can be experienced with musical notes
and waves of sound or liquid.
And we can experience them personally
as a pull toward something
or as a push away from something.

We can walk into a place
that we can't get walked out of 
fast enough,
and into a different place
where we could sit and stay forever.

We know what's what in our body.
We dismiss/discount/ignore
what our body is saying
with "the uh-oh feeling,"
and end up saying ourselves,
"I knew this was wrong from the start."

Yes-but, here we are.

We have lived our way here
by being more-or-less sensitive
to what we are feeling on a borderline
conscious level.
We get where we are going
by being increasingly sensitive
to what we are feeling on that level.

What are the YES's in our life?
And what are the NO's?

What are the vibrations telling us?
Being attuned to
what is "in tune" with us
and what is "out of tune" with us
is a reliable guide through
a life strewn with possibilities
and options,
choices and decisions.
