The circus

Can you imagine having the idea to start a circus. What a bizarre thing to come up with. Animals and acrobats and clowns and a tent. The first time a new idea comes up it seems foreign and unreasonable and crazy even.
But so many things that we are now used to were once a weird idea that someone had the guts to actually do.
Brent Blake who lives at Soap Lake, had one such idea. He wanted to install a three story lava lamp in the downtown area to bring tourists to soap Lake where he has his gallery. Talk about Pr stunts.
The town agreed and they found one such lamp in New York and bought it and now are waiting to install it. It works. The blob inside goes up and down like the ones in the 70's we all thought were so great.
He also want to create a stonehenge type of structure made of Lava Soap Bars. only real big. They are three stories too.
What a blessing he is to the town to make all those wild and wonderful and joyful ideas come true.
That is why you do your wild ideas, they might make everyone else feel the exhilaration of pure joy for a few minutes and they might be inspired to come up with their own wild ideas that might benefit everyone.
Follow those ideas . Even if you try 10 wild ideas and only one actually works- it will have been more than worth the effort.
Just ask Brent Blake
