This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 15, 2007:
Creativity is a colorform. Taking down the pictures, our experiences and knowledge, from the sticky black background of our established thought, setting them on the floor, and rearranging them in new and different ways.
New creative thought or ideas. A friend told me yesterday of a girl with autism who was being tested. The doctors were debating whether she was retarded or incapable of being tested. One of the doctors was convinced she was not retarded based on a recurring question."What if black is not the darkest color?" While the other doctors dismissed the statement quickly with, "But black is the darkest color." This one doctor said, "Okay, what if black is not the darkest color." To which she replied, "Then we would use it to lighten the room."
