“I have refused to live locked in the orderly house of reasons and proofs …” I love this ... I recall that during graduate school I had a poster on my wall that inspired me. It read: “if you can imagine it, you can achieve it, if you can dream it, you can become it” As far as I'm concerned the enlightenment sayingwisdom of Descartes took us down a dark and narrow path, "I think therefore I am." I recall one of the final homilies of Bob Marrone at Historic St. Peter Church in which he described the closing of Historic St. Peter as a "failure of imaginiation." Yes! I appreciate this little conversation that you've started, Martha. It is a way for us to share from "imagination" and has engaged me in dialogue with the thoughtful creativity of others in the community!
