Mr. Rogers

It’s Good To Be Curious About Many Things

August 21, 2013 by utpress Leave a Comment

Fred Rogers brought a giant torch to bear on the smoldering imaginations of generations. This sparking of the imagination is even more important today as imagination seems too often to be surrendered to standardized tests and short attention spans.

This remix by PBS Digital Studios pays wonderful homage to Mr. Rogers while capturing the essence of what he so kindly communicated on his show, the invaluable tending of “the garden of your mind.”

Full disclosure: The first time I saw this I got a little teary-eyed. ( I suspect you will, too. )
