🔍 The more things you find interesting, the more creative you will be
The Book of TREE 1.49
I have an old friend from my life in the States named John. (Shout out to Anna, member of the FFOREST and John’s daughter.) Whenever I talk to John, I feel like I’m incredibly fascinating. It’s not because I’m incredibly fascinating. It’s because John finds everyone in the world interesting.
Correlation: John has a unique perspective or insight on pretty much everything I’ve ever talked to him about.
The more things you find interesting, the more source material your brain has to work with when it’s trying to make new connections between things. Making new connections is the essence of creativity.
Be like John. Make a habit of finding the interestingness in every person, conversation and situation.
I learned about Holy Coves over the weekend. They are from North Wales. If there is a North Wales musical sound, they’ve got it. The whole album is worth a listen.

Thank you, dear friend for the gift! How unexpected the box was on the porch from you. I had put down The Dance of the Dissident Daughter for the umpteenth try when the book came. I am enjoying it immensely! So very kind of you🌻
