Wings And No Feet
“He who has imagination without learning, has wings and no feet.” Joseph Joubert
Imagination: Webster defines it as, “the act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses or never before wholly perceived in reality; creative ability and the creation of the mind”.
Did you ever let your imagination go a little wild – let the creative juices flow? I think we all have. It’s when we have the vision and don’t follow through that we crash and burn. The wings spread wide, we take off, and then at the first sign of turbulence come tumbling down.
We have a couple of choices after the crash. I choose to pick myself off, brush myself off and spread those wings again, taking with me the lessons learned from the previous failures. The alternative, well, I won’t even go there right now, as I am imagining a wonderful weekend of pumpkin carving, a long walk in the woods with my binoculars in hand so I can see my feathered friends, a soccer game, Church and a fun birthday party!
I wish you all a wonderful weekend as well – spread those wings!!
