Dormant without Use

"Our imagination flies ---

we are its shadow on the earth."

Vladimir Nabokov

The opportunity to use imagination presents itself daily.  It can be used while preparing a meal, a lesson plan, grocery list or an agenda for the day.  These lists can be boring unless we add a little creativity.  We can doodle on the page, alter the recipe or slice tidbits of fun between the lines.

Our imagination stimulates, paints a picture, comforts, and offers escape. Imagination is as good as we make it.  Like anything else, it will lay dormant without use.  Once we apply creativity, life is spicier, limitless, and draws us closer to our personal core.

If we listen inward, we will begin to hear our imagination. It is breathing life back into what has grown to be stagnant. If we focus on areas that excite us, our world begins to bloom.  We become more interesting to ourselves and others while our expansion deepens our relationship to all realms.
