Creative Thinking

The subject of creativity has been neglected by psychologists.

The immediate problem has two aspects.

(1) How can we discover creative promise in our children and our youth,

(2) How can we promote the development of creative personalities.

Creative talent cannot be accounted for adequately in terms of I.Q.

chaos expressing creativity.

thrusting into the oddish way of seeing

the great whole .. the range of multi-colored sight

tolerating the ones who notice shades of dark and bright.

penelope kelly

we think we welcome different beings,

welcome different ways of seeing,

welcome the view of fools and saints

welcome the mind without restraint ..

we think we welcome,
