• It seems that almost daily I have to deal with someone who refuses to deal with the realities of their life. lol... as if I manage to face my own issues... but it also helps to keep my eyes a bit more open.  A caption on a photo that flashed past me today sums it up, I think.

  "You can only imagine what happens next..."

  and that is exactly the point. The future does not exist. And everything we think we know about it, is no more than our imagination, hopes, fears and wishes being projected on a screen. We think that our plans are substantial, that we can force our will upon that next day, but all too often we find that all our plans and hope are for nothing as life throws one monkey wrench after another into the works.

  We can only imagine...

  But that's another point. Some of us imagine the best, the promising. Others, only the worst, the devastating. I wonder though, how would we do if we used our imagination to look at more options. Or, possibly, just be willing to admit that we do have to be far more flexible that we may be comfortable with.

  I can, and do, imagine many, many things. But can I make that one of my strengths, a guide.
