to understand our love they'd have to turn the world upside down
teaching learning needs
All I really need to know... I learned in kindergarten.
blessing boredom take-a-chance
I fear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances.
imagination people secret
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A Beauty Bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one... And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.
grieving levels wonder
To ponder is not to brood or grieve or even meditate. It is to wonder at a deep level.
citizens world way
I wanted to be a citizen of the world but not in a superficial way.
