  • Are you alluding to the challenge you put me through last month?! (argh!) (That's why I'm sort of clutching my legs together in this recent photo. Click on it to see what I mean, Rickster. LOL!)
  • I think that a breakdown and a breakthrough are one of life's most tragically, yet beautifully, meant-to-be couples. So, agree.
  • If you mean deconstructing that which exists, examining each piece to understand it, and trying to think in different ways, then I suppose so. You have to sometimes work long and hard to "discover" the very simplest things..so the "breakthrough" or Eureka moment may come out of the blue, but it is as the result of a lot of preparation! :)
  • Excluding the common use of the term "breakdown" to mean a psychological collapse, I would say yes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Well, so often, we do not realize that something - be it a process, a routine, a course of action etc - needs to be improved. It takes some sort of interruption or breaking down to bring us to that awareness. And then...what a sweet awareness it is! I find that I somehow see things more clearly when all the small and extraneous issues are pushed aside by the "breakdown" and only the most prime and corps issues remain. Decisions, new courses of action and new pathways tend to reveal themselves at those moments.
