Walking on the Moon

As I was relaxing in my lavender room listening to Vivaldi and DeBussy, the thoughts in my mind were dancing with delight. The happiness came from the gift that was given to all of us... the gift of imagination. How grateful we should be for this often unappreciated and unacknowledged ability.
With imagination we can create solutions to situations where we can survive and flourish. We can run through fields of clover feeling the cool wet grass under our bare feet, when in reality, we can barely walk. We can find adventure in our minds, travel to distant lands, conquer the armies of our enemies and bring the kingdom to freedom.
We can be a princess in a tower watching our knight in shining armor ride his white steed to our rescue. We can walk on the moon, win the Indy 500, cure the diseases that cripple and change lives for the better. We can live in a world where everyone is free, cared for and loved. Where children respect their parents and they in turn nurture and guide them.
Everything that we see today first began in the imagination of someone. I am not saying here that if you imagine walking on the moon, you will indeed find yourself on the moon. But, the fact remains that someone looked into the sky at the moon and imagined what was there, what could we learn from going there and what would it feel like. That started a chain of events which eventually set Neal Armstrong on the moon.
Nothing, but nothing exists with out our minds, someone's imagination, thinking it possible. What is in your imagination that will change the very lives who are yet to be born? What will you do with the images that blanket your thoughts and bring comfort to your soul? Are they messages from God, planting in your mind where He wants you to go or what He wants you to do? Write them down, act on them, because someday, you just might need to walk on the moon.

Nicely done, and an excellent message to all of us. Even me, whose imagination often gets the best of them!Thanks Ken! Yes, I think it does for all of us. Thank you so much for stopping by.
Reader's Club - enjoying this a second time. Miss you when you aren't posting pieces and totally enjoying this one!Thank you Marijo, that was so sweet! I miss all of you too. I have so many stories in my head, if I don't hurry and write them down, my head is going to pop like a balloon landing on a cactus! Wishing you blessings and a fantastic day!I hear you! I have a "fragments" file on my desk top with ideas in it and I am supposedly retired and still don't have the time I'd like to devote to writing! You have an excuse that I don't have!
Hi Star!Imagination is more than most comprehend. It is a key way in which we are made in the image of God and how we are co-creaters. We know many beasts are highly intelligent, and some may have lanugage, some can learn ours to the level of small child. But I think none has the power to imagine something that does not exist and bring it into existance.With language God gifted us with the abiltiy to understand and form concepts, and create an ever expanding understanding of the glory of creation. With imagination, he invited us to have dominion, with Him, as stewards and shapers of our world, bring about new things just as He did.That is why it is so chilling to think what He might have meant when, deciding to nearly extinguish His stewards, He said that the imagination of man was only evil continuously. What great good we can imagine and create, or what great evil.We think, we imagine, and we choose.Selah.Thank you Keith for stopping by. Yes, you are a mighty word-smith, my friend, an insightful scribe with creativity and passion. I look forward to reading more from you!Blessings,Star
