I do think that I'm a big believer in having an idea or having ideas and just tucking them away in the back of your brain. Even if you aren't consciously thinking of them, I think they simmer. You're working on them, even if you don't know you're working on them, and I think having something in your head for a while is a valuable thing.

Hush,-for the halo of calmness is spreadingOver my spirit as mild as a dove;Hush,-for the angel of comfort is sheddingOver my body his vial of love;Hush,-for new slumbers are over me stealing,Thus would I court them again and again,Hush,-for my heart is intoxicate,-reelingIn the swift waltz of my beautiful brain!

You might think my chosen career would lend me insight…. But while I can tell you about the brain as a physical object…, beyond that I am a glorified techie. I know the nuts and bolts and can diagnose flaws within the mainframe. While I can identify and sometimes fix structural maladies within that organ, I do not remotely understand it. That is an impossible task, like trying to guess the path rainwater will take down a windowpane. There is simply no way to know with any accuracy what is happening inside someone else’s head. I only faintly comprehend what is going on inside my own.
