when you're a kid,
you colour with reckless abandon.
you colour outside the lines.
you colour however you feel.
blue elephants, purple trees, red bears, green oceans--
it's all good.
as you get older, though,
everyone tells you to stay inside the lines,
to colour everything just like you see it.
you end up painting by numbers--
whether you actually paint,
or whether you write or sing or dance or act or direct.
i think you should create what you feel.
create outside the lines.
i want to watch green oceans and red bears.
i'd love to listen to purple trees.
and I long to read blue elephants.
