WIDER THAN THE SKY

John Lennon is attributed with having said

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination"

which could also read:
“reality gives a lot to the imagination
I am in bed a lot these days and very comfortable.
I lie in my bed and gaze for hours out into the tree-top that graces the view from my window.
Quite soon, I become the tree then after quite a while,I am a wounded bird;
still, alone, healing in a downy nest.
Having become the bird ,it is not long before I am flying ,enjoying the freedom of the sky .
Looking down I can see the tree now fully in leaf and I can only imagine the comfort of the nest that awaits my joyful return to rest.


SOME QUOTES ON THE TOPIC OF IMAGINATION
“The world is but a canvas to the imagination” Henry David Thoreau

“Probably the difference between man and the monkeys is that the monkeys are merely bored, while man has boredom plus imagination” Lin Yutang “

It’s not what you look at that matters it’s what you see

Imagination is the living power and prime agent of all human perception” Coleridge


“The brain is wider than the sky - For put them side by side- The one the other will contain -with ease 
                                                                                                                                Emily Dickenson

REFLECTIONS

"It is the stillness that will save and transform the world."
Eckhart Tolle



Peace ,quiet and stillness are synonamous .

Many people are “still” today due to the snow and ice .


When we stop rushing about mentally and or physically; when we become “still”, we learn to live in the present, still, moment . Thus we become peaceful.

Stopping internal chatter, we become "still"; quiet ,able to to reflect and meditate on our inner wisdom and receive answers

Is this not a change we would like to see in the world ?.
We love to look on a snow-scape .
It reconnects us with our potential and desire for peace and to become that change we wish to see
