You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea. ~Pablo Picasso

I really love this picture. I want to gather all the signs into one, straight row and then spin them around and around until they stop where they will; willy-nilly.

I think we get caught up in the wheres and whats and hows of our occupations (the things that occupy our time, not just our ‘jobs’) that we forget the thing itself; sometimes keeping order is counterproductive.

Every once in a while, gather all your signs together and spin them around. You might have to straighten them out, but I guarantee the new perspective will rejuvenate the ideas into action. Even if the action is the dust bin.
