Replying to LO24714 --
Winfried quotes Sajeela's response to At stating:
>> We must take care to promote the imagination of kids.
Perhaps this is not the right place to say it and my post could flow from
a linguistic misunderstanding, but children seem to me to have a
propensity to operate imaginatively and creatively.
The challenge for adults is not so much as to promote a child's
imagination, but to notice imagination-in-action and not quash
it...Children learn as-a-way of-being, through trial and error,
absorbtion, tacitly and by observation: to a certain extent, it just
flows.
The same could probably be said of society's artists and musicians, (and
the artist and musician in All of us), those who are often told to stop
dreaming and "get a job"...We can choose to notice imagination here as
well.

knows. And everything is both cause and effect, working and worked upon,
mediate and immediate, all things mutually dependent."
