Imagination Will Take You Everywhere

A plot twist is here in the story of life. When I look into the sky and I see, hear and feel the mighty change that is coming. 

Or did these changes already come to me when I needed to use all of my imagination to see what was coming? 

That is part of the twisty times before me. 

Each one is what can add to a story line. Every one is what can be part of the difficult words to be said.

It will now take all of my imagination to see what there is to see. 

When I look into the sky, the way that I see the changes that have come to me include a changing world and then a changing storyline. 

Starting there is how I came to find a few lines from Albert Einstein:

‘Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere’. 

What I came to see as I began to look up more and more in recent days with these words in mind is that logic is where my mind tries to find the edges that make sense.

It’s where the world that I see with my eyes begins to take shape when I also see the world with more. 

What more is there? 

My heart, my soul and truly my imagination to see with more warmth in what could be there. 

I learned this as the second piece is taken into the story.

Imagine it with me. 

Imagination is what will take you with me.

It’s what will take you everywhere. 

Logically, I know that what I see is right here and right now and yet I have a memory of more being here. 

When the sound of a bird giving a double call lets me know where the feathered friend is right now and where they were before.

The bird call is what let me know where the family was to help me along my way. 

Before, when looking for birds while looking up was the only task or goal of the day with a Tall One who became more from a small one.  

This then combines with the sounds to bring me more. 

Imagination is now in front of me.

Imagination is now in front of me. 

Yes, and brings me to the third piece. 

The piece where the feelings come into the storyline. 

Can you feel the emotions welling up within you and blooming at times like this pure orange flower? 

How is it that one space can actually hold many feelings and shades with such pureness? 

I’ll let you in on this part of the story with this simple bloom. 

The orange in the flower and emotions it brings comes to me with a final plot twist. 

Orange is the favorite color of one who taught me to look into the sky while pausing. He was drawn to it with a smile. 

It’s why I can also notice things that grow in the dirt with a bit of water and the sunshine. 

Like this small sunshine inspired blooming flower.

Like this small sunshine inspired blooming flower with each petal arranged to look like the rays of a crayon-colored picture. 

Perhaps it was the brightness that is captured in the color orange that brings out the feelings for me when I see it now. 

It could also be that I take a breath, find my feet, and remember that imagination is what will take me everywhere when I dare to feel the emotions that well up within me as I see the color. 

Orange is what makes the world pop with joy and hope and a promise that more is here. 

A promise that there is more than logic in the everyday world.  Even now, without our Tall One here to show me how to do life every day.

That I can indeed feel joy and grief, hope and yearning, a desire to learn more about what is possible and sit still with others. 

All together. With warmth, compassion and flow with life.

Another story on a different road. 

With the birds and the clouds and the growing blooms that come up around me. 

Still. Even now. With the imagination to take me there.

What do you see in your spaces and places that sparks your imagination? 

Let’s go into this with a hope for each twist in our stories, together.
