Imagination Safari

""Imagination is how a sense of possibility enters our lives. A life without playfulness, experimentation, and storytelling would be unbearably hopeless and narrow.  Imagination is also some large part of the ladder that intelligence climbs . . . and compassion. It's how we know what others' lives are like. Imagination is as essential for our human lives as any of our other senses."  - Jane Hirshfield from interview in Mindful magazine, February 2016

Let your imagination take you on a safari of sensory experience.  

               Think playfully and abandon reality.

Choose a friend to tag along.

Collect a cadre 
of colors.

What story hides in a magnolia?

                 Observe a mystery out of the ordinary.

Explore textures. 

     Touch for temperatures. 

Let the light shine 
      from surfaces.

Search for scents.

Consider the taste of a rose.

                          Climb a tree for a view.

                                              











Listen for bird song.

Why does fall's last fall hold on?  

Experiment.

Sow your Imagination. Set it free to bloom.
