It has long been a metaphysical principle that all things are connected, now it appears that science is coming to the same conclusion. At some level, one we cannot see and may not really understand, all things are connected and the process of finding those connections is how we create knowledge.
Knowledge creation is also about creating and exploring metaphor.
If we accept the principle that all things are connected, it makes sense to find the connection between things that may seem completely unrelated. Radishes are edible but not a diet staple and you probably wouldn't decorate a house just with lamps. That might not be a great metaphor but at the end of this thinking process, I understand lamps and radishes in a slightly deeper way. So, your task for this week is to do one metaphorical thinking exercise every day. Work through the qualities of each item until you have an aha and then write a statement using the metaphor.
