I think we all want it - but we are being told constantly, at least in our liberalist-protestant section of the world, that we must tell what the use of it will be. So you find imagination being held down by actualisation, by the "prove that it's useful" claim. But wait a minute - imagination is useful in itself, not because of its result, but because of doing it. Did we forget that?<BR/>Anyway, you're on the guest list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1130154710622778272005-10-24T06:51:00.000-05:002005-10-24T06:51:00.000-05:00Hello Taoist,Welcome to Letting me be . . .Thank y...Hello Taoist,<BR/>Welcome to Letting me be . . .<BR/>Thank you for visiting this piece, it's one of my favorites and i don't get here often.<BR/><BR/>I decided not to wait.

Yes. I do agree with what you are saying. <BR/><BR/>The older one gets, the less imaginative we are. <BR/><BR/>However, there will be a point in our lives that imagination will be the front runner again. <BR/><BR/>Let's wait. <BR/><BR/>Or we could let it happen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1124576358586486532005-08-20T17:19:00.000-05:002005-08-20T17:19:00.000-05:00Great, I'll send you your 65th Crayon Membership C...Great, I'll send you your 65th Crayon Membership Card!

I wrote passionately, incessantly. I just couldn’t stop. Everything inspired me. I was even published on numerous occasions. Then… life. Stuff. Junk. You know the usual life-sucking responsibilities of growing up happened. My kids, now in their late teens and early twenties themselves don’t even know that man existed. Sad. <BR/><BR/>But I’ve made a decision to re-claim that long dormant passion once again. Yes, I’m going to start writing poetry again. I am a poet at heart anyway. I’m flush with the passion and my life has been infused anew with the spark to create.
