Quite a few years ago. Back when dreamers were thought to be avoiding working. My son announced to me 'Mom,
you are too wrapped up in reality.'
Ever ready for a discussion - some call it argument - my response was: 'We live in the real world. No getting around it.'
Then came advice from this creative dreamer. Take a break. Think about the impossible. Think like a squirrel. Just
let your mind wander without signals.
Imagine that. Imagine - period. Here is the young man who, as a kindergartner, worried his teachers because he would
not 'draw inside the lines.' They thought he had a vision problem. Turns out he had vision.
My attempt at developing a wandering mind has not been 100% successful.
The real world is still real. The side trips help me stay tuned to possibilities.
Conform or create. Slog on or dream a while. We get to decide.
See you on the wandering road. It is not crowded.
