		<description><![CDATA[by Tom McCranie Counting, a left-brain activity may have a right-brain connection. In order to convey what we count, we use words and symbols—fingers, sticks, marks on a surface, electronic on/off states, etc. Is it a left-brain activity to apply a name or symbol to a number? The left brain can apply one stick for [...]<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://writersinnerjourney.com/2010/11/left-brain-gumbo-counting.html' addthis:title='Left-Brain Gumbo: Counting ' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>
