Surprise is the great enabler of seeing.*
Alan Jacobs

We care most about the things we have struggled to understand.**
Leon Festinger

“I don’t have any imagination.“

She was older than me, and I couldn’t leave her
affirming such a thought for even more of her life,
So I basically suggested
the following:
We don’t have to have imagination or creativity
that fits on some archetypal list –
Notice the things that energise you,
See how your your imaginative around these things, and
make more of them happen:
Seeing is the great enabler of surprise.
