We talk about seeing things in black and white as being rigid, closed to variation, unable to see nuance. But even within the narrow parameters of black and white there are unlimited possibilities.
When have limitations led you to a more creative outcome?
“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” —Sophia Loren
What activity keeps you young?
Maybe showing a highly adorned face to the world is just showing off, or an unwelcome focus on appearances. Then again, maybe the elaborate exterior is an expression of the creativity inside that deserves its place in the sun.
How do you like to adorn yourself?
Why have a day devoted to tom-foolery and silliness? Maybe because as grownups we tend to become set in our ways, and it’s good for us to have random surprises and nonsense break through to remind us not to get too attached to our assumptions about how the world is.
When has a joke or prank shifted your perspective?
I know what this suitcase is for. And I did not grant permission. You will need to file an Application for Departure form with my office. Which is closed.
Who misses you when you are away?
