As one of the champions got ready for his demo he tangled the kite's lines and the announcer said: "see...even masters can do it wrong" That comment hit me and my adventures with my creative journey. As I talk to more and more people, I see where I was....afraid to try because I wouldn't do it right...always telling myself I couldn't do it, always afraid of ridicule or a pat on the head.
But...what really became apparent to me from that comment is the sheer joy of not doing it right (according to someones preconceived idea) and having the openness of the mind to see the POSSIBILITIES that were just presented in a flash of stupidity.
For you see....it is only stupid to the one who is stuck on right and they will spoil it for you if they can (not intentionally) but Miss Rosie says: "DON'T LISTEN" explore with wild abandon your so-called stupidity it will lead you to brilliance.
