we need to imagine

Imagination. It conjures up four year old memories of castles, dragons, and kings. It brings to mind the royal quest to save the lost princess from destruction. To imagine means to go beyond what I see and what I can document to what I can feel and to what I can believe. Imagination poses new solutions, brings out magical endings, rides waves of fancy, and catapults us into the milky way. By imagination we can walk on water, live through fire, keep the sun from setting, time from continuing. Imagination is unending, infinite. Imagination can answer unanswerable questions, it can cast unknown explanations, it is bigger and better and ever changing.

We need to imagine, to get outside of ourselves, beyond out self-interests, and consider things greater than us. Imagination drives explorers to hunt, drives dreamers to find solutions, imagination causes us to grow. Wake up and imagine!
