A Dash of Knowledge





"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more impotent than knowledge.  Knowledge is
limited.  Imagination encircles the world."
Albert Einstein


A storytelling conference was offered at Starved Rock State Park in Illinois.  I immediately registered and happily attended the event.  I don't know if my interest in telling stories kindled as a small child, director of a pre-school or director of a day care center.  Maybe it was perpetuated while my four children expectantly gathered at my feet.  

My education completed and accomplished in my career, I certainly accumulated knowledge. So with imagination, I was able to string fact with fiction.  I discovered young and old alike remembered information presented in imaginative form.

As a long time writer, my ability to create something out of nothing has endeared me to numerous aspects of my life.  No matter how small, if an incident was soothing to my soul, I yearned to script it to my memory.  I could elaborate upon knowledge  so it was never forgotten at all.
