Children have largely not yet developed our grownup habit of doubt. They have big vision, big optimism and big resilience. Children grow into a system that, with the best of intentions, encourages caution – very often with excellent reason.
But, perhaps we grownups should take another look at the space between a child’s vision and boundless optimism and the caution, skepticism and doubt of adulthood.
Perhaps there exists a creative opportunity in that space where magic can ignite, a space where vision combines with ability, helped along by the skills adults have acquired.
Might be there something we’ve been missing?
During our Space Camp, we adults had the opportunity to view the cosmos through the lens of a child’s mind…..a precious lens of unbound creativity, bordering on magic.
Wonder. Full.
Looks like an enthusiastic group, including the space camp leaders. Lots of great props!
Thanks for the encouragement- it was a wonderful week for the children and for both of us as well! Creativity and high spirits overflowed! France
