 |  Day to day stuff....a memoir without order. |
 Imagination is described by Webster as...The act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses in reality. Albert Einstein said "Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere."  I never realized it until I read it somewhere but there are ways to boost one's imagination: Create a visual journal Draw whatever you see for 15 minutes a day. You don't need to be an artist. Think like an artist Cut out pictures from magazines & piece them together to create an original image. Listen to Bach Close your eyes while playing your favorite music. Or listen to the sounds of nature on a CD or in the great outdoors. Play word games Try thinking of as many words as you can that begin with MAR...or you pick. Daydream Let your mind wander, or focus on a single object & study its characteristics.     Everyone has a story....here's mine.....c   |
| I attended an author talk at the library today, a local author who is also a member of my writers' group. Her new book is about the way music affects us, our brain, our mood, our life. I hadn't known she was such a good singer. She began her talk with a poem that included lyrics from several songs which she sang acapella, to my ears in perfect pitch. Isn't it amazing how you think you know someone pretty well and then, suddenly, a new facet appears. Her latest book is titled Sounding the Depths and her name is Wendy Thornton, a lovely lady in every way. I had wishy-washed all morning on whether to go or not. This is the first really warm day we've had in awhile and I wanted to be outside, but in the end I went and was glad of it. until next time...c |
