Space — an anomaly many would have difficulty defining. There are far too many ways to describe what space really means when viewed from varying perspectives and contexts. To a child, space might simply mean the amount of room in which they have to play. To those with a view to explore the outer limits of the earth, space means something entirely different. To the worn-out moms who work outside their homes or at homes, space probably is something they believe they need more. Then there are those who are paranoid who feel that people encroach upon their space if others get to close to them. We have a real dilemma when it comes to maintaining a simplified view of space because of who we are. The world is not as simple as we are inclined to believe and most of the people in the world, tend to be more complex than we ever imagined.

For the purpose of instigating even deeper thought, let’s explore the space in our heads. Granted there are some people we think have nothing but space in their heads because their behavior tends to indicate a lack of active brain cells. Realistically, unless someone is made of straw from head to toe, everyone has a physical mass of matter usually referred to as a brain. The brain is there, occupying space within our skulls, but what is it doing or what are we allowing our brains to do?
