Truly a fun poem, Jody. And I am likely the total opposite of you, but it is, indeed, one of the joys of getting older to be comfortable in how God uniquely made us and to find delight in those who are not like us.
Here I am (coincidentally, at age 40), realizing over the past year - thanks to you - that I'm also a Random Abstract Global Processor. The way you describe finding and processing information is so resonant with my own experience...and I've spent years trying to apply methodologies to my thinking & my work to somehow comb it out and make it resemble something more organized. It's freeing to think - that just doesn't work for me! Bless you.
Kristen, that is an incredibly freeing revelation, yes? And a testimony to God's creativity in so many ways... I'm pretty certain that most creatives, at least those who write poetry maybe? and express themselves in a visual art form of some kind share the same way of processing things.
Jody, I love having people like you in my life, who think and process differently than I do. (You are much more like my music director.) Together, we make a great village.
Oh interesting that you're a four, Stephanie, but that makes sense. Especially because you enjoy taking photographs and notice things creatively And here's to abstract random thinkers yay! It is such a gift to understand ourselves.

Writer Conference Fund!?!? Yes, please help Jody see Sandy and MK in person!!!
LOL :-) You read my mind!
I used to wonder if I was God's typo.
Yeah, nope. Your creativity is evidence of God's hand in and on your life, Marcia.

Oh, I love me some Frederick!

Oh I love being part of that village with you!
I just completed his test. I'm also Abstract Random. I'm not at all surprised by that. I'm an enneagram 4.

I love this playful poem, Jody! And your descriptives sound remarkably familiar…ver close to home!
Frederick the Mouse!! (And also Swimmy the the Fish… 😊)
Ah, yes, Swimmy!
