Mind Expansion
Some people have quick minds. Others
exercise their minds to stay sharp.
A few run away with their imagination
and are never heard from again.
Mensa Workout (Mensa International)
Neuroeconomic Mind Games (The New Yorker)
“The Brain is wider than the sky
For, put them side by side,
The one the other will contain
With ease- and you- beside”
Poem by Emily Dickinson, The Brain is Wider than the Sky
“My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery,
always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud.”
Quotation from Virginia Woolf

But Eidur we are hearing from you :). My imagination does get me into trouble every now and then. But its always fun. Its good to run away with it every so often. Good for the soul.

I tried the Mensa workout. My brain panicked, and then shut down. It’s not accustomed to all that usage.

I sometimes wish I had a button to stop my brain and my thoughts racing at night. Just sometimes. Maybe I should check my ears too on a second thought…

Yes I do! And now may I snap my fingers and take us back to Motown? Okay.
(Mick Jagger arrangement): “I’ll tell ya/It was just my magina-tion/ runnin’ away with me/ just my magina-tion encouraged by Ser-A-Phine!” :D))

I need to start reading more. At school i used to grasp things pretty quickly, looks like I need to sharpen up my mind.

I love the quotation from Virginia Woolf!
Our brains can sometimes torture us, don’t you think so?!
