 |  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   |
| Talent Pond's Blog Harbor Prompt: Let's get nostalgic today. Let's talk about that one show that you were really sad to see canceled or just couldn't understand why in the world was canceled. Tell us why you loved it and if you know what brought its demise, share that too. My very favorite tv series of all time is American Dreams. Yes, I know, you've probably never heard of it. It aired on NBC from 2002-2005, running for 3 seasons, then canceled for low ratings, oh so sad. It was set in Philly in the 1960s, yep, my time, so now you know why I liked it. I identified with everything about it, music, teens, Bandstand, racial problems, and family life in general. Here a clip from youtube. until next time...c |
| Talent Pond's Blog Harbor Prompt: Okay, time to interject a little fantasy into this. If you could put yourself into any TV show as an active character, which show would it be and tell us about the character you'd play. Would you prefer to be yourself or someone much more exciting? Wow, this one is hard, thus the day late, but life did get in the way a little as well. Thinking, thinking... The very best series I ever watched and the one that has stuck with me the longest would have to be Rectify. It was highly watched a few years ago and ran for 4 seasons. Now, you can watch them all on Netflix. The entire show centers on what happens to a guy who is released from prison after nearly 20 years on death row following a wrongful conviction. There are several important characters, mom, stepdad, stepbrother, half brother, sister, attorney/sister's boyfriend, stepbrother's wife, and I really got into the storyline even dreaming about it on the nights I watched. It was intense, deep characters and a thought-provoking plotline. If I inserted myself into this show, it would be as a grandmom character. I think a grandmother could give everyone the distance they need from the elephant in the room. If you've seen the show, you'll know what I mean. Each character is deeply affected by Daniel's release and the crime he is supposed to have committed. Now that I think about it, why wasn't there a grandmom. Yeah, a grandmom would be just right. until next time...c |
