Imagine Imagining

All apods (us two legged creatures) have bodacious and beautiful bodies (from our viewpoint), and encased in a skull at the very top (our viewpoint again), lurks a pulsating brain (we hope)…and the one billion brain cells (neurons) are evermore stirring around, and sending chemical and electrical messages back and forth between each other in an attempt to create some type of mischief --- now you know where all of those funny, and sometimes, weird, thoughts come from.

When one of those theoretical thoughts make their grand appearance in our conscious mind, we believe we have imagined something new. But,if our neurons were not imaginating, we would wander around our pleasure-filled planet looking similar to some type of creepy creature, and from anyone’s viewpoint, I would imagine we don’t want that.

Our imaginations have really fantastic features; for when we are splashing through a raging storm, we can imagine trekking through our universe at warp-speed, and being stunned and awed by the novas, nebulas, quasars, and black-holes that awaits us on our journey. Or we can imagine a whole new universe we can create in our mind. And if we enjoy the aroma of flowers, we can imagine a thousand acres of fully bloomed roses in a field of snow at the North Pole. Imagine that!

We may also utilize our imaginations to believe we are riding a horse in space-time at the speed of light. If we wish, we can imagine that our vehicle is a starship as we travel to and from our positions of work…and by doing so, we arrive with a more creative mind. We can even imagine that we are basking our mental, physical, and emotional entities on the shores of antiquity, or we can imagine we are still a child and are amazed at the millions of tiny white soft pedals from our first new falling snow. We even have the capability to imagine we hold our shiny, revolving, and enthralling Earth in the palm of our hand. Imagine what you can do next!

If we wish, we can imagine that, as a human of the male persuasion, that we are on a “hot” date with the most beautiful woman our optical orbs (eye balls) have ever seen…and who has all of the right tings in the right places, that do all of the right things at the right time --- and then imagine that she doesn’t slap the ________(you fill in the blank space) out of you when you allow your hand to do the imagining. And we may even imagine that we are standing on the edge of forever, gazing at the canopy of stars on a moonless and cloudless night. Imagine that!

If we really wish for our imagination to run wild, we males can imagine that we are Adonis, and you females (political correctness) can imagine that you are the queen of heaven and earth…and there is nothing wrong with that! Or we can imagine that we are resting our baleful bones on a field of grass on a ware summer night, and floating through clouds of pure love. Our imaginations can even allow us to really believe we are on a three-masted sloop, and sailing on seas of faraway galaxies. Imagining more, we may imagine that we have found the one true love of our lives, and that he/she (political correctness again) will abide with us on a journey of love through the throes of never-ending togetherness. Imagine that!

Imagining all of the above is a fascinating and wondrous accomplishment, but now consider this --- possessing the enormous amount of power of our mental, physical, and emotional facilities, combined with our imaginations, imagine all the improvements we can make with ourselves…imagine that!
