Uninhibited Imagination by Brian Leshley


Energized imagination and uninhibited imagination, they dance and sing out of tune—sometimes surprisingly in tune—children of joy live out endless summer days dreaming and loving life. Melancholy fills the hearts of the adults witnessing the open heart of children at play. Why do we have embarrassment at our own silly thoughts of dancing to a Spongebob song, shushing a child on the bus as they break out in song? Let go of the wheel sometimes and let the boat drift to a far off land where dragons, princesses and knights in shining armor reign eternal, a magical land where its okay to be a little silly—almost a proclamation from the king.

Life Flows Wildly From the Heart of a Child at Play


On our blog we share tips, freebies, and all kinds of work-at-home mom stuff but we also want to share what inspires us to do our jobs. Art at it’s finest in child’s hand uninhibited. This is what inspires us Paisley Moon, and we hope you will be inspired too.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up-Pablo Picasso

As we watch children at play we find we see the wheels of imagination flow from their hearts. Naivete and joy in their dreams of fairy princesses and gallant knights to the rescue. Dragons and goblins, moat monsters, and other foibles to battle for our fair prince, he is brave as he moves nearer the prize of a kiss from the beautiful damsel in distress. Our children’s laughter comes from the playroom as they act, draw and color out their fantasy play. Are they practicing for the real world challenges? We ask ourselves, in the knowing world of ‘grown-upland.’ Oh, to be a child again and to find the dreams of the past adding color to the black and white of our daily grind. A rainbow river of love and life flows wildly from the heart of a child at play.
