STIR-CRAZY
I AM NOT YET "STIR-CRAZY"
Does the act of stirring-up engage dynamics involving a stir's status, apart from stirring itself? If so what.
What is it about stirring that makes a liquid more uniform apart from the stir itself? We know that stirring hypnotizes, mesmerizes, aerates, normalizes, standardizes, but why?
Perhaps it is the oxidation of liquid combined with the oscillation of liquid that produces its stir-status.
Of course, the nature of the liquid is contributory to the oxidation-oscillation effect. So, too, context or environment is another factor of which the operation partakes; then too, other dynamics unknown and unnamed may also factor like light, barometer pressure, dust, divinity.
"Stir up the gifts" was a powerful , unforgettable sermon that I heard preached one Sunday in an African Methodist Episcopal Church in Webster Groves, Missouri, by its female pastor in the 1990s, whom I did not know. But, she brought a bowl, spoon, cake mix, an egg, and other accouterments into her pulpit and wore that word out, beating it.
Her text was from 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

Somehow, I suspect that stirring up principles are not simply confined to liquids; but, that they may apply, as emphatically, to semi-solids like mankind, even masses of long-time suppressed, black men who lack any organizational synchronization.
