To Risk an Idea

Unique, brilliant ideas seldom burst 

into the world fully formed. They risk 

being trampled by non-believers and nay-sayers those people who insist on the norm, the plain, the safe but on closer inspection, such ideas come from the norm, the plain and the safe ~ just with layered embellishments. Cell phones that once were pencil, paper and party lines; to calculators and individual phones; then to separate computers and telephones; each one embellishments of the past. Speaking of the past there were cave drawings and runners, smoke signalling, carriage mail…..each grew from unique, brilliant ideas of the time, the courage and daring of the human spirit.


“Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. 

They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.”

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
