Imagination Unbound…

 In Reflections

“The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Richardson’s Zoom conversation, sponsored by The Well, offered so much more wisdom, but this awareness that creativity and imagination can be an antidote to any despair we’re feeling about our current life situation caught my imagination! It offers hope that we can be part of making a difference with the unlimited power of our imagination.
“A great wind is blowing and that gives you either imagination or a headache.”
–Catherine the Great

The winds of change are definitely “blowing” whether we like them or not. How might you put the power of your imagination to work on envisioning a better world, creating something that lifts your spirit, or telling a new, positive story about the future?

May you remember the joys of living in the world of unbounded imagination as a child and call on that innate ability now to create something better.

A Sign of Intelligence

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.”
—Albert Einstein

Four Endowments

“Every human has four endowments: self-awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.”
—Stephen Covey

From All That is Broken: A Blessing

From all that is broken,
let there be beauty.
From what is torn, jagged,
ripped, frayed,
let there be
not just mendings
but meetings unimagined.
May the God in whom
nothing is wasted
gather up every scrap,
every shred and shard,
and make of them
new paths,
doorways,
worlds.

—Jan Richardson, Sanctuary of Women: A Companion for Reflection & Prayer.
