Yesterday I posted this photo of my lovely daughter, Eve with one of her most recent drawings. Along with the photo I asked, "What do you see?" to the viewer. The range of responses that I got is why I LOVE what a child can bring out of an adult. As we get older we tend to create this box that everything is supposed to fit neatly into, all of our ideas and goals in life are according to some sort of plan.

As a child there is no box. It is just endless freedom to explore any and every possible avenue of creativity and adventure. Although children look up to us for guidance and instruction it is equally as important that we take time off from our busy lives to just sit and listen to them, no matter how strange their ideas may seem. Take a turn to become the student and let a child be the teacher, let them help you remember what it is like to just let go and run free!

When I look at Eve's drawings all sorts of pictures flood through my head of what it could be. I love that by asking other people, "What do you see," it showed the beauty of a child's artwork and what it brought out in each individual. Almost every single person saw something different in her shapes and lines that had forced them to think outside the box and come up with what could be, according to them.

I have listed the responses down below.


Jamie H. - Flock of geese! 

Natalie B. - An umbrella! 

Mike M. - I see an insect between grass
