Think outside the box: Latin 101

Think!

Think….think…think

Think outside the box
Thinking outside the box

Think outside of the box and see if Jesus will come down from the cross to help you
Maybe God Will

thinking outside the box
pricey
thinking outside the box
risky
thinking outside the box
priceless

I am still so intrigued that a lot of institutions use mottos that encourage thinking outside of the box- which in effect adds up to encouraging thinking for oneself, knowing one's self, at least; yet when in that box called academia; nearly everything except thinking outside the box is done to ensure thinkers just think outside the box and nothing more.

It is like when I was growing up in my home away from home- the church- all I did was sing songs in a foreign language. Talk about unconscious consciousness

I was already consciously unconscious enough to join in as a way to exercise my lungs.

Choices

The choice is yours,
or is it
the choice is clear?
Choose from these options
one will suit your need
Select the one that works best for you
Whatever feels comfortable
is what you should do
Choices of choices-
which do you prefer?
But amid all these choice
of many choices
I know whose choice it is
to make my choice
