Imagination

So, here we are. We have chosen a way and the consequential design appears to be the driving force behind the act of fending for ourselves. Even though the capacity is there for everyone, the lingering molecules of anxiety and fear latch on to the receptive, leaving these people empty and wanting more. Unfortunately this impels them to take and they find the means to do so. During this capture they destroy. Only a minimal amount of hope remains for the rest. So yes, this is occurring but it is also malleable.
Although, presently, amidst what feels like a stampede, we question the way things are. How did we get to this point? And in this questioning we dream of different times, possibly better times. Not to say that this life is flawed because it holds the potential to co-create and deliver everything we desire. Balance is required. We cannot have positive without negative but I sense we have lost some of that necessary magic, that sparkle that truly makes people feel alive. You collect it from each other, from inspiring thoughts and ideas, from helping, sharing, laughing and being vulnerable with one another.
Yet ironically, while we sit empty and unfulfilled we seek comfort in the negative, we incorporate it into our daily routines. We talk to each other and develop this darkness giving it fuel and at the same time hypocritically converse on the issue of how we feel we have no control over it. It is not the situation we find ourselves in that defines us, it is how we respond and react to the environment.
We are here together on this incredibly gorgeous piece of land, a speck in the vast imagination of the Universe and in that sense I believe imagination is what we all crave. It breeds hope and unlimited possibilities. It establishes a place where love, happiness and depth can grow to their full potential. Depth, an internal feeling so strong it carries you to the core of your soul. A familiar foreign experience of your body turning itself inside out into a burst of energy, an explosion of tingles, a cause and effect you thought you were incapable of igniting. So when we encounter positivity and concepts that seem like implausible ideas and hopes, we must honor them, lift them up to the highest peak and deny access to the disruption of their beauty. This is the only way we will actually change the world.
So realize now that your ideas, thoughts and words influence everyone around you. We can actually radiate to each other the better times we want to see. It might sound easy but it involves hard work, it requires a commitment to becoming more conscious and a promise to one another that we will try. Most importantly, we must truly understand that we hold the pen. We can write anything we want, we can have the biggest imagination imaginable. With everybody supporting one another we can transform. So fill up as you read this, soak it all in and build upon it. Don’t give up on us yet because here we are.
