Brainstorming wisdom theme on January 8

Here are thoughts & themes from our brainstorming session around proverbs 8 and Ecclesiastes 3:1-12

(Kyle, Brandt, Laurel, Jen, Martha, Bill, Colleen, Lindsie, Taylor, John, Sophia, Christine, Rachel, Ryan, Gabby, Jenn, Krista, Titia...)

Clock, representing times with lady wisdom as hands behind clock. Could represent different kinds of times around the clock, maybe hard times on the fringes, joyful times in the center, or the reverse with shading between.

2 overlapping worlds (imagine a Venn diagram) maybe overlapping images of positive times and hard times, with gray space (idea of a moving installation) (after the session the idea of projecting figures walking on top of this emerged) maybe a third layer of wisdom somehow encompassing with hands or a figure? This group was thinking BIG - a large installation, possibly hanging, definitely moving at least part of the time.

Yellow brick road and poppies (beautiful but distracting) - how this is like the path of wisdom

Wisdom (and folly) as being present in the city, in creation/the mountain, and in our home. Almost like a gauzy overlay across these places, or maybe a thread thru. (proverbs 8)

Creation, water, season imagery. How wisdom is present throughout, but may be different in different times. Use seasons of the year imagery to illustrate this. Photos of our own through the seasons? (maybe to project with 4 squares?)

I will continue to add to this, and please add your own comments.
