Lockdown 25

Lockdown Day 25 - 20 April 2020

Brainstorming is very interesting and used all over the world by many people. The wikipedia definition is, "a way of coming up with new and innovative ideas for projects or solutions." 

To me it is a composite verb, made up of two independent words: Brain and Storm. The '-ing' suffix indicates an ongoing process. Brain is the mental muscle in the scull and Storm is defined as any disturbed state of a body especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying movement. 

So, using this defenition, to me a brainstorming exercise is when my mental muscles are continuously disturbed (did I mention I find it very difficult to be normal?). And yes, it does strongly affect my 'surface' and sparks movement in many ways. In short, brainstorming is my happy place, because it gives me the freedom to be creative beyond the parameters. Thinking outside the box. 

In nature, a perfect storm is a rare combination of events or circumstances creating an unusually bad situation Sounds like this abominable virus, mmmmm (hello Lockdown! 🤪). 

My idea of a perfect storm is the mirror of that statement: an unusually bad situation from which a rare combination of events and circumstances can originate. YEAH, now that's a thought. Try to generate a rare and special outcome from this Lockdown, something that moves you on the inside and you feel strongly affected by. You never know, maybe ABBA could be revived!!! 

Oh, and while you're at it, take a walk on the wild side and take God up on His Word when He says in Exodus 31:3-4 that He has filled us with His Spirit "in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work, to make designs" and believe in Him to show you a way. After all, He's the only One who's got this!
