Design works
if it's authentic, inspired, and has a clear point of view.
It can't be a collection of input.
Ron Johnson
As I sit here writing, our grandkids are on the rug behind me creating collages out of bits of pictures
and colors
and dreams
I can only give them the space and the time and the safety
I can only "inspire" by giving them room to breathe
To design what they see in their hearts
Without fear of criticism
Without need of approval
The point is
design
True authentic design unencumbered by what "should be"
I so want us all to live our lives that way!
Picasso said:
Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist
after you grow up
Today, you will have words and colors and sights and sounds to use
Choices and attitudes and hopes to put on to the blank page of today
So go!
Be the artist at life you were before someone convinced
that you were not!
Design!

And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:3
