Creativity and Random Thought
Random Thought
Trina L.C. Sonnenberg
How do the powers that be, determine the speed ratings for highway curves? Where do they come up with the numbers? Does someone drive them over and over again, increasing speed, until they crash? "Okay, Joe crashed at 61 mph, so this one is safe at 60 mph." Random Thought...
Have you ever caught your mind drifting away from you, floating from one thought to the next, with no particular direction? Do you ever get to wondering about things you normally take for granted? This is what I call random thought; although many would call it day dreaming. I live in the mountains, so a trip to town is a long drive, and when I am a passenger on such trips, random thought seems to carry me away. There is a great deal to inspire such thought on these trips. Winding roads, sheer cliffs, trees, and of course, the river. The above random thought came to me on such a trip, and led to the writing I'm doing right this moment. Random thoughts are creative, if you go with them. They have inspired some of my poetry, professional writings, and influenced me in my decision making a time or two. Random thought can lead to many things. In my world it leads to story lines, article content, weekend plans, business strategies; all kinds of things form in the churning. I often find direction in this directionless way of thinking. Whomever decided that day dreaming gets you nowhere was, in my opinion, missing the point. Dream big. Walk the walk and grab ahold of it.Letting your mind wander where it will, when it will, is an avenue to creativity and if followed can lead to great things. The next time you are in the throws of random thought, grab a piece of paper and write it down. You don't have to show it to anyone. Just write it down so it isn't lost. You never know... It could be a million dollar idea. Thoughts are things. If you can think it, you can do it, but only if you remember what it is you thought. I keep a notebook by my bed,
To record the thoughts inside my head.
Sometimes as I drift to sleep –
Words come to me that I cannot later repeat.
Like a whisper on the breeze,
Floating away like a tease –
So I keep a notebook by the bed,
To capture the thoughts inside my head.
