Imagine

Emily Dickinson, the poet, said, “The possible’s slow fuse is lit by imagination.”  Imagination is the engine, the beginning of possibilities.  It does not begin in the thinking mind.  So don’t go to catechism to begin any God-searches.  If God is the ultimate possibility, then begin with how you imagine God.  Let your imagination explode with possibilities. This will give rise to your questions, your personal search.  Since God may be no one thing, God can be all and anything to each person.  The imagination is not just about fantasy, and fairy tales, though there is much truth in fairy tales.  Unbelief resides in the reasoning mind.  I am not sure that God hangs out there very much for people like me.  Don’t bother to think the possible. Imagine it.  Most great discoveries came about from the power of imagination as the starter engine.
