Follow "sparks" of interest

From Creativity, the fourth suggestion is to explore things that cross our path that interest us, an idea, song, or (in my own case), the origin of a word.  
"We are too busy to explore the idea, song, or flower further.  Or we feel that it is non of our business.  After all, we are not thinkers, singers, or botanists, so these things lie outside our grasp.  Of course, that's nonsense.  The world is our business and we can't know which part of it is best suited to our selves, to our potentialities, unless we make a serious effort to learn about as many aspects of it as possible.
  If your take time to reflect on how best to implement these four suggestions, and then actually start putting them into effect, you should feel a stirring of possibilities under the accustomed surface of daily experiences.  It is the gathering of creative energy, the rebirth of curiosity that has been atrophied since childhood.
