Hey Diddle Diddle and The Bagels on the Table | creativity during lockdown
Manage episode 316169576 series 3281774
In the spring this year, on a bright sunny Sunday morning, out of my desperation to have some comfort food, I lined up to buy a bag of Montreal style bagels from a new store that had just opened in downtown. I believed a bag of great bagels could definitely save me from feeling even more anxious about the on-and-off lockdown.
Before noon I had eaten three bagels: sesame, cinnamon and blueberry. Yummy.
I'd been reading articles about children's folk songs while compiling a beginners' piano book of popular folk tunes. While looking at the rest of the assorted bagels lying on my kitchen table, still wanting for more, I was struck by the idea that if I were a kid I would probably have imagined the bagles started to move and roll out of the table, running away to some where. I let myself daydream.
