Your library and organizing your thoughts

Book A and Book B have always been next to each other in my library. Until I moved.


Now Book A is just that bit to tall to fit on the shelf unit next to Book B. I cannot put them together. As I thought through why I have Book A and why it had always rested next to Book B I began to consider how the my library layout reflects how I think about these topics in my head and in my work. It occurred to me that Book B and Book W go together far better than Book B and Book A. Once placed together I found they gave me a hint towards solving a project issue with which I had been struggling (and was the reason I had abandoned the computer for the moving boxes).


I am fascinated by the mental image of my brain subtly rewiring itself as I change the positions of the books on the shelves.
