what do you do SO well...?

A few weeks ago, massaging nacht_musik, something occurred to me.

I've been doing massage for so long, it's so intuitive and second-nature these days, that it's hard to comprehend *not* being able to touch people and get a sense of what to do for them. Like, how can anyone not? It's so obvious! I know it isn't true for most people, and it wasn't always true for me, but it's so present now, so much a part of me, that I can't imagine myself not experiencing it that way.

I commented to him that it must be similar for him, making music, and he agreed.

I've since been wondering, how common is it? Do YOU have something that doing well - sometimes effortlessly, automatically, just falling into it - is so intrinsic to who you are, that you can't imagine yourself not being able to?

dancing. using an espresso machine (or really, anything to do with coffee shop work). writing without making frequent spelling or grammatical errors. i actually ponder this question a lot, myself. it fascinates me how much we tend not only to take our skills for granted after their attainment, but to project our aptitude onto the world around us, subliminally....until proven otherwise. repeatedly.
