Most people have some regret from their past they can’t seem to shake. Something they wish they’d done differently, or wish they hadn’t done at all. Living a life of no regrets doesn’t mean perfection. It means that when you look back over your life you accept that if you hadn’t gone through all those experiences you might not have grown into the strong and knowledgeable person you are today.
It all began with an idea Frank Warren had for a community art project. He began handing out postcards to strangers and leaving them in public places -- asking people to write down a secret they had never told anyone and mail it to him, anonymously. The response was overwhelming. The secrets were both provocative and profound, and the cards themselves were works of art -- carefully and creatively constructed by hand. Addictively compelling, the cards reveal our deepest fears, desires, regrets, and obsessions. Frank calls them "graphic haiku," beautiful, elegant, and small in structure but powerfully emotional.
An ooey-gooey, green oobleck was not exactly what the king had in mind when he ordered something extra-special from his royal magicians. In the book, the King of Didd announces that he is bored with sunshine, rain, fog, and snow, and tells his magicians to add some variety to the weather. As a result, large piles of sticky green oobleck fall throughout the kingdom, covering everything. The king soon regrets his wish, but since his magicians' cave has been buried in oobleck, he can do nothing to remove the substance.
