Imagination, Dreaming, Presence

"Dreamers dream.

Readers read.

Writers write.

I was born to be all three."

Terri Costola

Visualizations, when revisited frequently can become a template for dreams.  Each time we visualize, we can make the sky a little bluer, the woods a little thicker, and our favorite day dream spot more comfortable.  We can bring in the sounds of nature or the presence of animals, even though we are physically sitting quietly in place.

In vision we can travel to a beach, foreign country, outer space or a magical place of make believe.  Our illustrative minds can create great things, especially when we are inspired by reading  volumes of saints, mystics, scientists or artists.  As we read books, we are adding to our own vaults of information which may spill over into authoring a few lines of our own.

My childhood escape into creativity expanded worlds, visions, and the sense of presence within.  Reading the words of others, prompted me to discover imagination for myself.  Writing down what my mind thought possible opened the veils to dreaming to my hearts content. Reading, Writing, and Dreaming, all three have guided my energies to the internal presence of me.
