This morning's fog briefly parted, giving a glimpse of snowy foothills from my kitchen window. Fog quickly closed in, hiding the view.
Reminds me of a sudden insight as we ponder a problem. Clarity can be obscured by a bad mood, fatigue or confusion. This gives me hope.
"I need to sleep on it," I told customers after they explained a difficult problem. They laughed. But often I awaken with a good solution.
Your thoughts?
Lucid planned dreaming....works for me....good for your customers
Isn't this a famous poem? 'In the morn, the fart briefly parted the coming storm, opening the window to see the coming dawn, only to realize the night is gone.'
I never read a poem named "A Break in the Fog."
@LiterateHiker It's obscure, that's fer sure. I collect obscure poetry. lol
Sleep is importaint for information "filing" and linking new information to old, so sleeping on it is usually a good idea when making big decisions or decisions about things we normally don't.
Whenever I have a difficult problem wanting a solution but I can't seem to think of one, I take a break from thinking about it and do something else. After a break of x amount of time, I come back with a fresh perspective. That has helped my on a number of occasions to solve said problem.
Likewise.
Can you see Mt Redoubt from where you live? Or is that too far north?
@daveknight
I live in Wenatchee, Washington State, not Alaska.
I can see Cascade Mountain foothills from every window. Love it.
These photos of Wenatchee were taken from East Wenatchee,. Across the Columbia River looking west.

Thank you. I feel lucky to live in Wenatchee, WA.
@LiterateHiker Mt Redoubt is one of the highest peaks in the Cascades. So, can you see Russia from your back porch? !
Don't be silly. Of course I cannot see Canada.
Wenatchee is in the center of Washington State, snuggled up against the east side of the Cascade Mountains. North Central Washington.
