Imagination

Creativity is the key to imagination. Ever sit outside to lay down and stare up into the clouds? When is that last time you used your imagination? It seems as though with age, the less and less we use our imagination and the more and more we use our textbooks and logical reasoning. We never revert to the theory that things happen just because they happen. We never elude from reasoning anymore and don't believe things happen for no reason. Is this a fair trade off? It seems as though we are trading off our youth for knowledge of the present. Do we want a life full of textbook answers. What if we are looking to catch a break in this world? Wouldn't you want a time where you can look up into the clouds and be able to use your imagination and see pirates, alligators, and horses. Whenever I look up into the clouds, all I see are fluffy white clouds and nothing else. I look for shapes and figures, but I cannot decipher any of the clouds. Have I traded my soul into the world? Have I aged too fast and too abruptly? My teacher used to tell me that imagination is the key to learning. She also said that regardless of all the knowledge of the world, if you lose your imagination, the knowledge that you have is useless in this world. In this world, where we are so used to giving textbook answers, must change. We must be able to think outside of the box and our world seems to lack creativity. No one is willing to change and is willing to be different from other people. No one is willing to take a break in this fast-paced world. I dare you to go outside today and just lay down on the grass and look up into the clouds. Look up and see what the clouds look like to you? Are they merely white fluffy objects or a priates, alligator, or horse?
