Why curiosity is the key to life
http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/sep/06/michael-rosen-curiosity-is-the-key-to-life
Michael Rosen, the poet, broadcaster and former children’s laureate, has written a book on how to educate kids at home.
It’s about trapping and scrutinising nits and listening to the pulse in your ear; it’s about telling stories and collecting old stones, messing about with the wires in old plugs and recounting Greek myths.
“If you take that Freudian theory that we are like a city with layers,” he says, “that things that disappear are still there even if you can’t see them, always there potentially to be summoned. I guess I am just somebody who summons that stuff up all the time. I’m always mystified when other people don’t. Reading my poems, I can hear people saying, ‘Oh yes, I remember standing in front of a mirror when I was nine thinking one nostril is bigger than the other.’ But they haven’t thought about it for 40 years.”
