“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. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with their imagination.”
-Robert Fulghum
I love this quote. It reminds me that no matter what I am experiencing, no matter which crisis I have in front of me, if I step back and focus on something simpler, more creative, I will be in a better mindset. Kids live in the moment, and find this easier than us adults. We need to pull out our Crayola’s more often
