Imagination

I woke up early this morning, but lay in bed for a bit; it’s Friday! And I wasn’t feeling up for a morning walk.

I’m off to work and afterwards, a little tennis with Alex. My plantar fasciitis is feeling better and my right knee, since surgery 20-years ago, has never been the same, but I’m ready to play.

For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been reading ‘Rafa’ by Rafael Nadal. Though it hasn’t been an amazing read, I’ve enjoyed reading his story. It’s been interesting and inspiring. What has surprised me most is how different he is off the court. He’s shy, reserved, and even a bit fearful. But most interesting is the manner in which he has trained himself to focus, to step inside ‘the zone’ and to endure the challenges that come his way while he’s on the court. It’s fascinating and incredible!

The challenge now is how do I take this information and use it for my own art career? After all these years, though I’ve made progress, its been slow. I want to take it further, to a different place, one that is beyond my imagination.

The piece here is titled, ‘Cornholes.’ It’s the first photo taken for my LITTLE series. I hadn’t posted it before. But doing so now, I see how much further I’ve come.

Albert Einstein said, ““Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

And so rather than try and understand it all, I will go out into the world, open to the possibility of imagination.

Cheers and Blessings!
