Slops

Einstein once said that "imagination is more important than intelligence." We often hear that from art teachers, but one of the greatest scientists the world has ever known? He might just be onto something. Without imagination, how could we ever discover something new? How could we ever become better, and make the world better along with us? Stories are often full of imagination. Sometimes they really happened, sometimes they’re fantastic, but whatever they are, they can help us expand our reality and imagine new frontiers in our own lives. Today we have stories from Pam Faro, Priscilla Howe, Kevin Kling, and more. On today’s episode, enjoy the following: “Slops” by Pam Faro from Why Didn’t I Think of That?
