A Happiness Weapon

Maybe we should develop a
Crayola Bomb as our next
secret weapon.

Guess that sounds absurd
doesn’t it?

And every time a crisis develops
we could launch one first -

a happiness weapon;
a beauty bomb -

before we tried anything else.

A bit dumb, crazy, silly, weird.

Crayolas are one of the few things
the human race has in common.

Amazing things Crayolas:
Petroleum based wax
+Dye
+Binder

Not much to them…

until

you add the imagination.

Crayolas plus imagination (the ability
to create an image).

These make for happiness.

When you think about it, there’s more
art done with Crayolas
than anything else - billions of sheets
of paper in every country in the world,
covered with billions of pictures
in crayon.

Prime Ministers, Presidents
and Generals all used Crayolas
sometime in their lives.

The imagination of the human race
poured out like a river in low and high
places.

And people would smile and
get a little funny look on their faces and
cover the world in imagination -

instead of death.

When I consider the horrible things
developed at horrifying expense to
drop out of the sky; I’m not confused
about
what’s weird,
crazy and absurd.

It would explode high in the air - softly -
millions of little parachutes

floating.

down to earth...

boxes of Crayolas.

I’m not confused about the lack of,
or the need for, imagination
in low or high places.

There are far worse things
to drop on people than Crayolas.

A child who touched one
wouldn’t have their hand blown off.

I FOUND this piece in Robert Fulghum’s ‘All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten’.

Dream intentionally - while you’re awake.
