Not in the inner world of imagination where images live and play. However, these images can be projected out onto the world, or manefested in the physical realm. Don Quijote was a perfect example of a man who created and lived in his own imagined world. Of course, most would say he lived in a delusional world but that may be a limited way of looking and seeing.
I believe the imagination played a major role in ancient times, not that I've been there, but I've gathered this from books and movies I've seen. As a child I spoke to spoons, rain drops, and trees. I imagined and believed they all had feelings and thoughts as I have. They were a part of me and I was a part of them. Whom or what do I speak to today? Ummmm, I guess I speak less as I get older. I seem to have less to say or have less of a need to say it, or both. On second thought, I still speak to trees and feel them as part of me.

What a sweet sentiment of thoughts and feelings. There is a famous platitude that states "if you can first conceive and then believe without a doubt you can achieve." The best evidence that these words are factual come to mind when I think of the 44th President of the United States. If he did not imagine him self where he is who on earth would have?
ReplyDeleteThis is just my blessing for you to keep on dreaming and do what ever you have to do to smile. Besides, trees will never tell your secrets. Next time you talk to it make sure you tell it that your friend Bele' said hola.
Yeah, it feels great to be approaching the end of the semester. I feel free. I worked hard and diserve to play now. But let me finish my lesson plan first. Maybe I can play a little in my lesson plan. Thanks Bele, and the tree says hola back.
