Imagine

It's a grey Wednesday morning and I woke up thinking about John Lennon's song 'Imagine.' It's been in my thoughts for the past couple of days. "...Imagine all those people livin for today." Sounds like heaven.

I'm 60 pages into reading Ghandi's autobiography. It's very different that Nelson Mandella's; it's not as smooth and easy, but already very interesting especially when he talks about being a vegetarian not only very early in life, but during that time of the world especially in England of all places.

I've been thinking about why I haven't approached Bloomers Coffee Shop in Upland about doing a show of Lucy prints. I wonder what's keeping me from asking the simple question of "Who's the manager/ owner?' It's the first step. Am I afraid of the rejection? And if so, what have I got to loose? Nothing really. My good friend always says "When you're ready, you're ready." So why am I not ready? What is keeping me? I'm just not sure. I know that life overall has felt a bit off balance.

The piece here is titled "Lucy's Burning Red Ball." I believe I may have written about this before, but in this episode Lucy tells Ethel, "I did it Ethel, the dress is mine." I say these words to myself whenever I accomplish anything. And as of late, I have not said them. Ghandi writes, "Today I know that physical training should have as much place in the curriculum as mental training." As of late, I know I haven't been as active. I know that excercise is important to me; it keeps me in good spirits. And so in a few minutes, I head off to the gym.

'You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."

Today, imagine your possibilities.

Cheers!
