Beauty and Surprise
August 8, 2011
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.

"Beauty and surprise should be the basis of every child's environment. Choose materials that are complex and rich. Install sculpture and art. Every direction a child looks should be filled with materials and structures that inspire curiosity and delight. Bright autumn leaves celebrate the season. The red of a ladybug stands out in the grass. The mud of a puddle makes a deep brown splash. Trees have faces. Boulders look like dinosaur eggs. The wooden playhouse is a magical cabin. With thoughtful care, you can add made layers of sights to discover. A hidden mirror may reflect a child's happy surprise. Marbles molded into sidewalks shine like jewels. the whirl of a sunflower face hints at universal patterns. The secrets are all here to be discovered. All we have to do is look. Notice. See?"
