I got my first
LEGO set as a kid, a birthday present for my 6-year b-day. It was a small, grey
space ship with a red LEGO
astronaut. Back in those days, they only came in red and white (coincidently, the two colors of the
danish flag, the
country that gave this
precious gift to us). Snapping those little bits together to
create something had me hooked.
As a child, I too followed the
instructions rigidly, making sure everything went according to the book. But then LEGO Zen came to me, that deep
enlightenment of pure
seeing. As eyes glanced a new
model, it would instantly reveal its deepest
construction secrets to me. Instructions were laid aside in favor of
pure LEGO instinct, gaining all instruction from that deep,
spiritual place inside the
soul, which guides all
creativity and
imagination. I would piece any model together on that alone.
It is my unwavering
belief that LEGO Zen is reachable by anyone.
kmcardle is on the
path already, and will soon be taken to
the next level. It is where LEGO does not just
entertain, it
makes sense, and you see through the
mortal instructions to construct by instinct alone. Then you shall carry out wonders.
