    The “Whether” Man from The Phantom Tollbooth

    Whatever happened to that childlike sense of Wonder?

    I’m pretty sure this question pops into most of our minds from time to time.  I don’t know if there really is a definite answer, because everyone was brought up differently.  But at some point I think mostly all of us werre at the peak of our vast imaginations.  We saw the world in a different light.  Our imagination provided endless oppurtunities to create.  But as we began to grow older something happened.  The things that used to fascinate us no longer did.  Reality slowly crept in with all its worries and its troubles and we began to lose sight of what ignited our imaginations.

    Maybe it was negativity, stress, responsibility, criticism, or peer pressure that lead us astray. What happens is that once you block the flow of your creative mindset, you will start to drift into the world of black and white.  You start seeing things in its simplest states.  But how does one step back into that seemingly distant world of technicolor?  The answer is simple, start taking different routes to your daily destination.  Begin asking questions about why things are the way they are.  Look at things through diffent perspectives, be it mentally or physically.  Listen to a song that brings back a memory.  Don’t just listen to it but resonate in it.  Start to observe what makes people happy and ask them (or to yourself) what makes them feel that way.  If you have the time go for a walk, a bike ride, read something (in a book), write down a list of things that make you happy and why they make you feel that way.  Once you begin an of these things your black and white world will slowly but surely be filled with technicolor.

    I have the raddest wife & son ever.  One of their many collaborations…L

    Let’s just say there has been a lot of SQUEALING from my side of the office this week.

    Since its inception, Colin Meloy’s Tumblr has given me such varied and squealworthy insights into his soul as:

    1. his feelings on Depeche Mode (conflicted).
    2. the type of bird-themed inlay featured on what is presumably photo of his guitar (adorable).
    3. and, perhaps my favorite: these scanned in pictures that his wife/Carson Ellis/Decemberists album artist extraordinaire, and son drew together in their happy little notebook. Dinosaurs! Astronauts! BLINKING EYES, people!

    I think part of why this is so interesting is that Colin Meloy and The Decemberists’ music is the kind of stuff that, as JD Salinger has already said much better than I, makes you wish he was “a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it.”

    In the meantime I will be following him on Tumblr and reblogging pictures of his wife’s Moleskine.

    I suggest you do the same.
