How to get an Idea

Dig into mud 

    or 

Open up a new box of crayons 

    or 

Run your finger through a bag of marbles 

    or 

Skip a stone across water 

    or  

Ask a cat to lend you one 

    or 

Stand quietly under a dictionary 

    or 

Stick out your tongue and say, O! 

    or 

Put an empty picture frame on the wall 

    and wait
