I like that, ...Sorry, I missed this message, Sarah. I like that, feels true. :o) Pondering on that thought for a minute. <3 <br /><br />Oh, I agree. I couldn't function without it. It whisks people away from the systematic thought pattern. Balance is important - I can't imagine a world without creative expression causing imbalance. It brings us all so much beauty and peace, reminding us of what should be important. <br /><br />Yes, so many children/adults think that they are not creative, but everyone is, just in different ways. Education should really cherish the creatives more than they do. Open the gate to new ways of teaching/thought/delivery. People process life and lessons differently, and until the system takes this on board there will continue to be loss of spark. It's so sad. Even with my own children, I've noticed the decline in art coming home. Music isn't really explored either. The first areas to be cut are usually arts. It's wrong and damaging. <br /><br />Did you write a blog post?<br /><br />Love & hugs, Sarah. <br />xoxo<br /><br /><br />jasmoonbutterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13366828448717844852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897014314003299734.post-61930347874465659482016-04-20T17:34:53.197+01:002016-04-20T17:34:53.197+01:00Hi again! :o)
I read recently in 'The Writers...Hi again! :o)<br /><br />I read recently in 'The Writers Way' (I think) that there's the idea that stories try to find someone to write them. They hang around someone for a while, then if there's no response, in the person not writing it, it goes off in search of someone else until it finds someone who can sense its presence and give it an outlet. I really like that thought and I feel myself like that's how my story came into being.<br /><br />I absolutely agree about the arts in education. Oddly enough, I was thinking about doing a blog post on whether art is important in life. (I think it is.) It's all to easy for the creative spark in children to be extinguished. <br /><br />love and hugs,<br />Sarah xx Sarah Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580280239757820097noreply@blogger.com
