My grandmother never measured the amount of salt that she put into her soups. She simply put a few fingers into into the large box of salt and took out a little, so little that no one could see how much. She knew even if she didn’t measure or tell anyone. It always worked.
The mechanic across the street takes some educated guesses when he repairs cars. He looks under the car hood and thinks about cars that he has fixed. He may even remember the workplace vehicles. He fixed them too. He works so quickly that he may not know why his hands move in the direction that they do. He may reach for tools to do his repairs faster than he can tell you why. Somewhere he knows even if he can’t or won’t say.
