 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 ** Image ID #1701066 Unavailable **  |
| I'm sitting in my paint/craft/writing room staring out the window at a hummingbird feeding in the falling rain. June storms here in Florida give little notice, happening often and when you least expect them. But they are welcome as they bring a little fleeting relief to the smothering heat at this time of year. The birds actually seem to celebrate in the rain. Can you imagine being covered with insulating feathers in 90+ degrees? The porch roof forms a valley and water is pouring in a stream into a birdbath I have strategically positioned. I hear the waves of water beating on the roof and now thunder and lightning and some wind. As I sit here, grateful to be inside in the air conditioning, I think of the chaos and turmoil going on in our world, and my heart goes out to all those suffering today. |
