Efficiency is not the path to creativity.
Wandering, exploring,
The intersection of opportunities,
The intersection of narrative
and abstraction
is creation.
Efficiency is not the path to creativity.
The seduction of ideas
The tempting of ill-advisement
Play off of your weakness and
Explore what you can't do well.
You will fail
and learn
and create.
Thomas Edison tried many filaments for the light bulb
before settling on carbonized bamboo as the best.
He worked with others,
collaborated
and created
in community.
The blind man says
"I do not need to see"
refusing to let others
help him create
useful things
in their collaboration.
He is worse than a fool,
only interested in
efficiency,
when any fool knows that
efficiency is not the path to creativity.
I really like this. And I agree.
ReplyDelete"The intersection of narrative / and abstraction/ is creation." I like this a lot.
Also, the two lines about Thomas Edison's lightbulb filaments = darn fantastic.
