My son Benjamin is 38 years old. He recently shared a memory he had of playing on the floor with some open-ended materials when he was 8 years old. He was very pleased with something fantabulous he had built. When I had asked him how he did that he replied, “with my hands”.
I have always been impressed with his way of thinking, pure, clear and practical. I asked him if there was anything else he used and he said, “My heart.” You might imagine the feeling I had as he clearly recalled and shared with me this play memory thirty years before.
He said to me that I asked him “Is that it?”, to which he replied, “My mind”.
He reminded me that it was at that moment that one of my favorite phrases was born, “Hands, Heart & Mind”, I love our talks together remembering earlier times we shared. He playfully suggested that I should pay him royalties for using the phrase he created….
