Beautiful Oops!

This Saturday I went with my wife and son to the Texas Book Festival to see our friend and renowned children's book author Barney Saltzberg. He came all the way from Los Angeles to promote his new book "Beautiful Oops" (click on the picture to see the video).

After singing a song with a raunchy audience of toddlers Barney reached for the trash can, pulled out some wrinkled pieces of paper, a cardboard box and some tape out of it and made a beautiful bird on the flip chart. Made me think that as we grow we get so set on being right, throw away things that did not turn out the way we expected them to and miss the opportunity to experiment a little. We also lose all the fun in the process. How would a future of open-mindedness would look like?
