 |  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 sit here contemplating Hurricane Milton, barreling toward us with winds at 150 mph. It was only a week and a half ago that we dealt with Hurricane Helene. The debris she left remains on the curb waiting for pickup. Today at around 72 hours before Milton's target time, rain is drizzling and the sky is overcast. Thankfully, the temperature is in the 70s and will remain there most of the week so when the power goes off, ac will not be that much of a problem. I have several pines in my backyard, all the required 20 feet from the house but they are 100 feet tall so that is not very comforting. I could have them all cut down and probably should, but I think of all the wildlife who depend on them. I rant and rave when forests are razed for unneeded apartment buildings and hate to be a hypocrite. And so I worry about the wind and the pines instead. Birds (and squirrels) are ravenously eating from my feeders. They know. |
