From the time he was born, leaving the house produced intense crying until he was brought home. When I returned to work when he was 6 months, he refused to have any part of me for about a year. It has just gone from there. Now I am trying to cope with the teen years and here we go again. Is he intense?

The Sermon on the Mount is mythic, but is it make-believe? How about the woman taken in adultery? If people believe those two things happened, are they confused?<br /><br />(The answer, I hazard, is no.)<br /><br />Ovid (like Professor Armstrong?) must have been able to understand myth as fiction, being an urbane poet in the most sophisticated city on earth. What about the illiterate folk who taught him the myths orally when he was a boy? Did they "believe" them? And if they did, were they confused?<br /><br />(For my answer, see above.)<br /><br />What, come to think of it, is belief? <br /><br />The good news is that the myth ball does not need advancing. There are no "experts" on myth (despite the hero of The Da Vinci Code being a "Professor of Symbology"), and they belong to people not any elite.roddy1984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626113.post-61582305433683779952011-04-06T12:58:17.933-04:002011-04-06T12:58:17.933-04:00Haiku on how to improve education?

Our aim is not to debate the finer points of the article here, but to build on the important recognition of Torrance's work and its relevance for society today in the broader creativity field. In the spirit of Appreciative Inquiry, we are focusing on what works and what's good to advance the cause of creativity, while recognizing there are other aspects to debate or improve. Thanks for continuing this important conversation and raising worthwhile dialogue -- all of which is well overdue in this country.Steven Dahlberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904517185847830606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626113.post-86802633758694972562010-07-28T09:48:15.887-04:002010-07-28T09:48:15.887-04:00Hi Alan - The National Creativity Network is somet...Hi Alan - The National Creativity Network is something that will be launched at the World Creativity Forum in November.

Thus aware, man is endowed with a natural<br />capability for enacting internal mental and external physical selectivity.<br />Quantitative and qualitative choice-making thus lends itself as the superior<br />basis of an active intelligence.<br /><br />Human is earth's Choicemaker. His title describes his definitive and<br />typifying characteristic. Recall that his other features are but vehicles of<br />experience intent on the development of perceptive awareness and the<br />following acts of decision and choice. Note that the products of man cannot<br />define him for they are the fruit of the discerning choicemaking process and<br />include the cognition of self, the utility of experience, the development of<br />value measuring systems and language, and the acculturation of<br />civilization.<br /><br />The arts and the sciences of man, as with his habits, customs, and<br />traditions, are the creative harvest of his perceptive and selective powers.<br />Creativity, the creative process, is a choice-making process. His articles,<br />constructs, and commodities, however marvelous to behold, deserve neither<br />awe nor idolatry, for man, not his contrivance, is earth's own highest<br />expression of the creative process.<br /><br />Human is earth's Choicemaker. The sublime and significant act of choosing<br />is, itself, the Archimedean fulcrum upon which man levers and redirects the<br />forces of cause and effect to an elected level of quality and diversity.<br />Further, it orients him toward a natural environmental opportunity, freedom,<br />and bestows earth's title, The Choicemaker, on his singular and plural brow.<br /><br />Human is earth's Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is by nature and nature's God a<br />creature of Choice - and of Criteria. Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and<br />definitive characteristic is, and of Right ought to be, the natural<br />foundation of his environments, institutions, and respectful relations to<br />his fellow-man. Thus, he is oriented to a Freedom whose roots are in the<br />Order of the universe. selah<br /> <br />That human institution which is structured on the principle, "...all men are<br />endowed by their Creator with...Liberty...," is a system with its roots in<br />the natural Order of the universe. The opponents of such a system are<br />necessarily engaged in a losing contest with nature and nature's God.<br />Biblical principles are still today the foundation under Western<br />Civilization and the American way of life. To the advent of a new season we<br />commend the present generation and the "multitudes in the valley of<br />decision."<br /><br />The message is this: Trust Freedom. Remember, tyrants never learn. The<br />restriction of Freedom is the limitation of human choice, and choice is the<br />fulcrum-point of the creative process in human affairs. As earth's<br />choicemaker, it is our human identity on nature's beautiful blue planet and<br />the natural premise of man's free institutions, environments, and respectful<br />relations with one another. Made in the image of our Creator, free men<br />choose, create, and progress - or die.<br /><br />Free men should not fear the moon-god-crowd oppressor nor choose any of his<br />ways. Recall with a confident Job and a victorious David, "Know ye not you<br />are in league with the stones of the field?"<br /><br />Let us proclaim it.
