Enjoying a good stiff cappuccino in a coffee-shop the other day, when a young woman came in wearing a paint-smattered smock.

So was she a playgroup assistant, or a renowned artist? I will never know.

But it made me think how quickly we can jump to conclusions from first appearances – and how fertile our imagination can be, if we give it some space.

our brains are quick to jump to conclusions but our minds are more imaginative when we give them some thinking space.

    Fascinating. Rhythm. Yes, I just started humming. Didn’t realize that my RT would post here. Forgot what I was going to say here. Twitter has destroyed my writing ability. This is a great post, despite its short length. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’, Colin. And, its your blog, I just read it. Edit your posts as often as you’d like :)
