imagining .....

..... is my favourite thing. Finding a spark that lights a creative fire. A sound or sight creating the desire to seek out other new things. Seems to me that so often as we age we lose 'imagining' and make ourselves fit into the section titled
'expected'.

'Expected' is necessary I grant you, and is sometimes extremely useful, but I watch people refuse to let themselves take part in the flight of fancy with the toddler who is convinced she has ridden a moonbeam to a distant planet. 'Expected' can be quite sad. Not wanting to sound too Pollyana-ish but 'imagining' lends itself to growth and development. However old you are imagining is fun, the stars are within your reach and even if you did look silly do we really care what the rest of the world thinks? No! So please over the coming weekend take time to let your imagination come out to play, watchthe clouds, lean across a stranger's fence and literally smell the roses. Sometimes a box isjust a box and others it can be a swamp, a jungle, the desert, anything you choose.
