Free Association and Talk of Ideas

 

“Free Association” and TALK of IDEAS:

 

Instead of reading the newspaper and becoming very frustrated with the over-zealousness and/or apathy of our greater world, let your newspaper’s headlines lead you in a refreshing TALK of IDEAS.

 

Find a word that either inflames or inspires you. Speak it aloud. Say it again. What other words or topics immediately come to mind? Do not over-think and prepare your responses. Let the words go in a flash, as soon as they come to mind!

 

When does an adult get to be so brutally honest, much less a child?! This is a freeing experience and an awesome lead-in for lots of laughter, such as at the dinner table (Perhaps you need a rule that no food can fly in lieu of words).

 

Consider that when you are alone in a public place, it may not be the best time to try this, but then again… puzzling strangers might be fun. Try to stay out of the loony bin! I can take no responsibility for another’s actions, even if my suggestion.
