I love creativity. I love creativity even more when it inspires, influences, shapes, or engages a child. That's why I'm so enthralled with this video of an installation called Funky Forest. Funky Forest is...
...an interactive ecosystem where children create trees with their body and then divert the water flowing from the waterfall to the trees to keep them alive. The health of the trees contributes to the overall health of the forest and the types of creatures that inhabit it.I'm more captivated by the children and their own amazement and creativity than I am the actual piece. I'm constantly challenged by my sons to, as U2 puts it so brilliantly in Original of the Species, "please stay a child somewhere in your heart." And to quote an earlier work of theirs... "Into the heart of boy... I could go there. I could stay a while." Jesus talked about that someplace in the Gospels... I'm sure of it.
