More "imagination":

"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create what you will."--George Bernard Shaw
"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."--John Lennon
"Imagination... its limits are only those of the mind itself."--Rod Serling
"By going over your day in imagination before you begin it, you can begin acting successfully at any moment."--Dorothea Brande
"To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind."--Wallace Stevens

Cooked up a steak for myself for dinner... Gail's and my weekly treat usually, but Gail didn't feel well enough to eat. I'm feeling better. Gail's ills still keeping her from sleep. Her dogs don't help much, whining to be let out every hour or so. Luckily once I hit REM sleep AND I can breathe properly with the apnia mask I'll sleep through her constant getting in and out of bed... usually not waking until the grandkids, and/or their mother, start screaming in the morning.

" Intrin(sic) "... I thought too long on the title... generally a bad 'thing'... intrinsic... (sic). I originally came up with a poem of too many 'tiles' that I'll relate here::

Intrin(sic) Too Imagination and creativity belies mystique ... but mind and soul soaring at their peak :Bobby Nichols 6-25-2004

" Seashore Sensibilities "... a Haiku: sensibility... My sensibilities, of course... What would be if I lived near the sea ?... might not I be closer to Thee ?
Thoughts of shore birds skittering, shrieking, wheeling... murmuring tide washing the shore... the chill of the coastal breeze raising goosebumps on sand coated skin... the salt air a fragrance in of its own, the tang most refreshing...
