Thinking Out of the Crayon Box

By fromskilledhands ( June 15, 2007 at 3:45 pm) · Filed under Musings, creativity

The other day my daughter told me about an ongoing “discussion” she has been having with a friend. He is adamant that there is no such color as sky-blue-pink. My persistent daughter disagrees, and every evening, she looks at the western sky and sure enough, there it is, sky-blue-pink. This is another instance of her ability to think and look out of the Crayola crayon box–even the one with 64 colors.

It occurs to me that we would be able to see so much more if we had the courage to put down the crayon box, grab a handful of colors and have fun just to see what happens.

This evening, I plan on heading outside and looking to the west. If you have the chance, join me, and let me know what you see.

    I did join you last night! We drove up to Huron by the lake to hike and see the sunset.

    It turned out to be a wonderful sky-blue-pink!

    Before the sunset, there was a rainbow. So we had all of the colors, both in AND out of the crayon box.
