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 |
We have been under a tornado watch since 10 this morning, to end at 7. It continues to look ominous with thunder sounding in the distance and a gentle rain falling. I keep checking the radar and storms are all around me with winds around 20 mph. It makes for a scary afternoon with all the pines in my backyard. Mopsy has calmed a bit today, getting used to it I guess. Many in Gainesville have lost power so that is a possiblity for me...may be a good time to write some of those letters I mentioned in a prior post. Abe read by firelight. I guess I could write by candle light. It would certainly make a good topic of conversation to the addressee. Jeez, now the sun is out but I hear sirens in the distance and more thunder. The temp is around 75. It would be a nice day if I didn't have access to the weather forecast. until next time...c |
