    My intellectualism:

    I am not so much concerned with knowledge as I am understanding. Understanding is like water in its many shapes in many situations and connected on many levels.

    Knowledge is concrete and immobile.

    Understanding is accepting value in without concern for true or false but what simply is.

    Knowledge is concern for belief or facts as being true or false.

    Understanding sees hearts and minds. It moves with them and accepts them. It can anticipate new action.

    Knowledge simply knows what a heart and mind did. It assumes that what was will repeat.
