Fresh Air

A line is a dot that went for a walk.
~Paul Klee

Loving this.  Like a breath of fresh air.


MoMA.  NYC.
4:31 pm.  Sunday.  16 September.

These days, I have my most thought-provoking moments while flipping through children's books in the MoMA gift shop.  I have no shame.

Children are excellent creatures for showing us (or some may argue, reminding us of) the many different ways we might connect existing knowledge points to conceptualize new ones.  Just because they need help on the potty doesn't mean that they can't teach us a thing or two.  I marvel at how widely they can open our minds.  (And how many smudgy fingerprints they leave behind.  Oy.)

    1. I can't lie: it is really a beautiful moment when they learn to wipe their own bums!
