The
power of a person’s imagination will change the society’s direction and history
(This is way more serious today than the last
few posts about bachelors and hockey… I needed a pause from serious thinking
these past few days because of personal crisis in the family. )
The last few evenings I have been listening to
http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/ and in particular a
program entitled ‘Imagination’ which both parts 1 & 2 - http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/popupaudio.html?clipIds=2292450189,%202293226155
Through the magic of the Internet you can
also hear what is being discussed.
I have been thinking about my imagination…
and other’s.
Someone asked me where my ideas come from for
my wood carving and art work. My simple answer is ‘out of my imagination’. I can’t explain how it comes or where it
exactly it resides in me – it is just there and then it comes out. What you see
is what I have taken time to frame on my outside…from what I see inside.
I am in contact with other artists. One I met
the other day told me of what he does. I looked at what he does and it is SO
DIFFERENT from me. His thoughts are not the way that I think… and his work is
very different from mine. But his work is excellent in every way… just different
from mine.
After we connected I started to think of how
weird I must be in his mind. What I do is so different from what he does.
Last evening I had an hour to speak with my
two grandsons in my car as we returned to Peterborough (the third one was asleep
in the back seat).
The three of us discussed ‘Imagination’. With
the help of one grandson I quizzed the other grandson, ‘If you were to
construct a computer game – what would it look like?’
Before we had traveled half way home we all
could see an island, a beach, a forest in front of us, with a mountain on it…
that was likely volcanic originally and now has monkeys and fruit and all the stuff
that a jungle has. It was an amazing journey for the three of us that were a
million miles away from our vehicle in that one hour drive.
Imagination… wow!
I then switched from our Island and we talked
about Hitler and what his imagination did to the world. They were really thinking how big their imagination
is.
I asked them to think about the imagination
that the author of a good book that they each had read. We talked about the author’s imagination… and
one of the Grandsons said… “Oh wow!” when he felt the thought sink in.
I have a treasure within me… my tremendous
imagination. You may not think it is
much… but when I LIVE WITH IT – IT IS SOMETHING ELSE TO COPE WITH.
You need to listen to the CBC Radio’s program
– it will challenge your imagination.
The power of a person’s imagination will change
the society’s direction and history.
