Inner Whiner to God: Why does it have to be so complicated?<\/p>\n
God (aka The Becoming Everything, among other sobriquets):
\u201cIt\u2019s not complicated from my perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n
Actually, credit where credit is due: This gem was said to me offhanded by my son, David. He didn\u2019t realize how great it was at first! Other things from our phone call this morning:<\/p>\n
Twenty years ago time didn\u2019t seem to move as fast. Change in knowledge, available information, rate of changes happening: By the time it takes to learn new stuff and keep with the news and journals, new innovations will have come forward. Many people in a relatively innovative field haven\u2019t kept up with what is today possible, the range of tools available.<\/p>\n
One thing that has happened, for example, is that in making creative variations, a degree of play occurs. One learns what tools are available and which tools are right to use for a given occasions. David teaches this on his website. Then one goes back and explores, plays with, and discovers that other tools are also available, and\/or with a little fiddling, one may vary the \u201cright\u201d tool to use for other, slightly different occasions. That\u2019s the play element. One tries and fails without fearing failure, and if only one success comes with a hundred trials, that success, if kept, then becomes a standard.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s about tools for communications using pictures and word—i.e., desktop publishing; I\u2019m about psychology, how we can broaden our capacity to think creatively in a creatively changing world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
