The words--the images--the effort is still uncomprehended. I said Light. I said truth. I said Freedom. I meant enlightenment.

Even if they try their entire lives to fit in, they still feel like misfits. The damage we do to gifted children and adults by ignoring this phenomenon is far greater than the damage we do by labeling it. Without the label for their differences, the gifted come up with their own label: ‘I must be crazy.
