I'd like to think that the gift of writing is a subtle way of flying. Like, when I'm sitting writing, the inner part of me is soaring through space and time. But, after watching a contagiously beautiful video, by the Jubilee Project, I wondered what I would change about my body to give myself the cool digs of a mystical creature. What would I change about my body? In the video adults went straight to their flaws, but the kids saw the bigger picture. One gorgeous little one replied, "like a mermaid tail." Ha! Given the opportunity, I'd like the belly of the Teletubbies! Remember them! The slightly creepy, adorable creatures that had a baby as the Sun. Yeah. I'd like a belly that could see in the world, please. How dope would it be to rub my belly and see the dope folks of Chicago doing their thing. 😌 I know, I know. Amazing, right?! Don't think I came up with that one easily. I was shocked at how long it took me to find a part of my body to change. Kids just seemed to know off the top which mystical body augmentation they'd like lol. It reminded me that the true essence of creativity isn't complicated at all. Now excuse me, I'm going to go find out how to accomplish this TV for a belly thing! Watch the video here and tell me about what you would change about your body below!
