Melting.

Ice cream.

Emotions.

Plastic ready to be molded.

Hearts.

Minds.

Caramel and Sorbet.

Ideas.

Strategies.

Refined to the purity measure of 100 per cent.

That’s all they sold, things that were the best, the purest.

Some wondered how they could possibly sell cheese. The very reason for cheese and the different varieties can often be as a result of “impurities”.

When it came to yeast or yogurt – were the “good” bacteria pure, or was that a product of an impure principle. That’s exactly how the press release addressed the topic.

One thing was certain, the enthusiasm of the founders was beyond belief, but highly contagious in its powerful purity.

Settling.

The foundations were firm.

Two trees provided shade, they had been there for fifty-five years.

Spirit vendors offered people the essence of…people, an illegal thing for sure. 

At the far side of the duct a conversation could be heard by anyone passing by.

The smiling faces of meditating roller bladers were the last image I had of the place as I left, and that’s the one I choose to remember. 

Another fine journey.

Steam rose from the desk drawers. This suggested a hot day at the office.

In the fall months people had been impatient to take out their skis, encouraging the snow to fall, but with little result. 

They had learnt instead to debate, write and play music. 

In the government offices magicians and jokers gained control. 

But, the results were laughable.

Easing into a new pair of metallic boots, Dansinger stated the obvious ” why don’t we just focus on good ideas and discard bad ideas?”.

A formula, environment, culture and tradition of good benefits, generally beneficial results of any new plan with the immediate rejection of anything that even hinted of “collateral damage” was suggested as the remedy to all ills and evils. 

Simple ideas are best, as many an engineer knows well. They also know that simplicity is hard to achieve. 

So the moral of the story could be, don’t doubt your own ideas, especially if you have ever rejected one of them as being “too simple”.
