Knowledge Without Imagination

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.  

Imagination encircles the world."

Albert Einstein

Children give testimony to the fact we are all born with imagination.  It is similar to other skills we carry into adulthood based upon the encouragement we have received and the knowledge we have collected.  If a skill is honed into a fine tool, it will be both exciting and productive to create an art form reflecting empathy and compassion.

Accessing knowledge is not enough on its own.  Knowledge must be applied, defined and open to challenge, but also etched with imagination.  In this way, knowledge takes on deeper meanings and becomes a part of our nature.   Application enhances segments that might inspire us to digest and respond in unique ways.

Imagination leads us perhaps on the same original journey, but it creates a more colorful landscape.  Imagination introduces wonderment to what otherwise may be dull or singular at first glance.  Imagination expands the ordinary into colorful and animated realms.  The inner artist awaits the use of imagination as it heightens the world within.
