Children have no question of “breaking these rules”, so to speak. My daughter was eating butternut squash the other night in a prolific kind of way. I’ve never seen any adult plunge into & devour with such glee a piece of food like she did. Her spoonfuls were heaped 3 times the size of her mouth. There was no hesitation to dive her entire hand into the mounds left on her plate, or to poke at the “solid” pieces with her finger. I think she really tasted & experienced that butternut the way it was meant to be experienced; fully & wholly. This is my point. I just think sometimes we as humans, and busy workerbees, can tend to lose sight of the beauty, joy, & laughter in things when there is so much time & energy placed on the grid tracks. My work is by no means about derailing the system, but embellishing it. I think we as a whole feel more inspired by our work in general if we add a little spice to it – a little memory of creative joy which I know we can all tap into. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised how easy it is to laugh, & how quickly it takes to get a refreshed & renewed perspective. Just for the heck of it, I might suggest borrowing your neighbor’s tricycle for a spin up & down the block – or maybe just in the privacy of your own garage? Maybe simply jumping on the bed?! (we don’t have to be elaborate here!). Or maybe, just really stopping for a minute, & lavishing the taste of a peach, the way a peach deserves to be eaten & appreciated! – dare you might even get a little peach jizz on your face?!
