"Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up” – Pablo Picasso


So I aint got much to say ‘bout raisin childrens…excepting maybe this….

When we think we know the limits of our children, we may be stifling their potential. For example, if I focus on the importance of calling Lego instructions “the directions” and I stumble to correct when my son says “where’s the map?” I may be missing out on the possibilities.

Micah built these without the “directions” but he sure was good at following the “map.”

Perhaps my job isn't to teach...but to be amazed and awestruck by all of the learning.

That which we love will indeed flourish.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin

            I can honestly say that I have never personally known Sigmund Freud, though we have at times had consistent traveling companions, comrades if you will. His contribution to the study of the mind can not be overstated and he also had some truly whacked out ideas.

It's all really just about dialectics when you think about it....
