 |  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 went to my book club today, discussing The Stars are Fire by Anita Shreve, a book I liked very much. In fact, I'm on my third one by her. She's all about women and how they find themselves, dig themselves out of a bad situation. Amost everyone liked it...we have one man in the our book club, and 29 women. You can guess who wasn't fond of the book. Next month is A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, which also sounds very good. There were no copies left by the time I got to the library today so I ordered a cheap used paperback copy from Abebooks, hope it gets here in time, almost 500 pages. We meet again on June 5th. I'll spend all day tomorrow writing up my notes for the group. My foot is healing nicely but it's a strange shade of green on top. It doesn't hurt to walk anymore and I'm glad of that, still need to cut the grass in my back yard. I've been listening to a chuck-will's-widow singing her tune. She visits a pine tree every evening and serenades me just at dusk. The birds sowed some blackberries along the fence line and I picked a few for breakfast a couple of mornings ago but the next day when I went out, they were all gone. Birds giveth and they taketh away. until next time...c |
