From Gus – The Possibility Hunter 

“There’s a mermaid with black hair on my head.  And you’re the daddy.  And it says “bang bang bang”. Roarrr! Yay!  Shoes, shoes.”

Er… what?  OK, thanks, son.

My two year old, like all two year olds, lives outside the square, but likes to visit me inside it. He’s perpetually in that place between wanting to understand everything and being out there.  Way, way out there.  It’s a contradiction that generates untold creativity. And he doesn’t need to try at all.

Non-parents, I’d like to share more random outbursts to help you with your creativity, but alas, they tend to loose impact when translated into blog-sperian.  But not all is lost!

Check out Embracing Creative ADD and Thinking Inside the Circle  from Jonathan at ‘Illuminated Mind’.  This provides a faster, cheaper and more focussed approach for those who haven’t got a handy two-year-old.

While you’re there you can check out the rest of his excellent blog.  It’s well worth a look around or a subscription
