Brain Work

I found Blogger as an app, and was admittedly skeptical.  I have always done my blogs on a laptop with a nice 15.6 inch screen and a full-size keyboard. It was just the way it was done.
My curiosity was piqued though. We use smartphones and tablets for practically every job formerly done on old style desktop and laptop computers. Is it really such a leap to bang out a wordy document on a much smaller screen? Behold I am doing it, and it's not too bad. I can't imagine writing a whole book on a phone, but I am sure it could be done, especially if one did it in chunks, (I mean, who sits down and writes a whole book in one sitting anyhow?) I consider it a good work-out for the ol' bean. I can't let it get too complacent about the way we do things in this ever advancing world. Until the day I can fire whole sharp images and thoughts from my head out into the world, words are going to be the method of communication. I imagine one day being able to express an idea or thought so clearly there will be no chance of misunderstanding.  Private as they may be, I have had some dreams that are so profound, or have left such an emotional mark upon me that I would love to be able to share them exactly as they were presented to me.
Communication is supposed to keep doors open to us, but as it is an imperfect art, there are times it fails and does the complete opposite. I have many instances where an idea or thought was so clear and exacting in my own mind, but could I express it? Big fat negatory. I keep many of my "gem" thoughts walled away in the stone vault of my mind, as far away from my sometimes too quick and slippery yap. Some things are just too much trouble to express, so better to keep them for my own private "entertainment".  I will share this though, if I am doing a mindless task I do challenge my mind to tell me an interesting story, made up from bits and pieces of dreams, snippets of news stories, trivia and God-knows what else my mind has seen fit to hoard for later retrieval.  The latest saga I am telling myself had me doing research if I need to fill in a blank or make "my" story more authentic. Anyone who sees my search history would probably scratch their head, as it is a crazy hodge-podge.
Even now as I am writing this I am remembering a detail I want to clarify.
The mind is a wonderful thing, and if we feed it, rest it, and yes work it, it's amazing the yield we receive from it. It has been a challenge to type even this small piece, but it has been fodder for my mind to play with.  It may become a regular occurrence to do a post this way, or it may become another detail in my creativity.  Either way it's a win!
