Stimulate Your Curiosity





"There are things known and things unknown and between them, the doors." - Jim Morrison

Eleanor Roosevelt believed curiosity became a child's most useful gift. For Dorothy Parker curiosity cured boredom. She felt curiosity had no cure - thankfully. Albert Einstein claimed he had no talents. Life turned him "passionately curious."


Curiosity begins in wonder. It travels like sparks once the fire ignites. Even looking up the word will reveal something else along the way. Mysteries surround that we take for granted. While the media conjures negativity; our minds can search for positivity from the ruins.

By snagging a snapshot of attention, ideas leap in. I become a companion with the frame and wonder where it will lead. Playfulness and imagination extend the image.

What happens beyond the gate?

Words in response to pictures help reflect and interpret the world. They form a relationship. Sentences search a world of paradox and investigate mystery.

Barriers reveal portals to adventure.
Do you see the man of the sea hiding?

Creative Write: Take a walk and capture your curiosity with a collage of portals. Or, use the three above. Do a freewite to investigate their connections. Let stories and poems arise from one side of the entrance to the other.
