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.
1986 and 1988, Two years from the 80s that were memorable... not for good reasons. Overall though, the 80s were a mostly positive decade. The 90s were better in some ways. The Aughts? It's complicated.
I try to stay present. Travel demands that. This week I've been visiting places that are new to me. That keeps me aware. Part of me just wants to go to Roi Et, a place I really like, and rest.
It sounds like you had an interesting meeting. I know you call it a Life History Group, but I also noticed that the attendees you spoke of were women. Are men not allowed in the group? Not that I would join you, I'm still stuck in Illinois. I was only wondering about men in the group.
