Delight in discovering some overlap.
Still working on this and do so enjoy the spider web of thought.
We are taught what to learn but we are not taught how to learn.
The power and value of brainstorming, freewriting, "brain dumping," and even
sitting in silence and just thinking
is not emphasized in traditional public education.
Ideas need space.
Ideas need air.
Ideas need other ideas.
We need not get things right the first time.
We need to write and throw things around a few times
before we can begin to form anything solid.
And this is where creativity happens.
THIS. EXACTLY.
