"Imagination"


   Ants don't sleep. That means that ants don't snore, yawn, toss and turn,rise in the night to go to the bathroom,
schedule power breakfasts for their hectic schedules, or worry that they are staying up too late watching television.

  Of course, ants don't have T.V.- at least as far as I know. We can however, "Imagine" in subterranean parlors tiny
Motorola's broadcasting shows, such as "Cake Crumbs on Parade" or news flashes about picnics and sugar spills.

  Yet, it is safe to say, there are no ant movies, ant opera's, or ant quantum physics. Why? Because ants don't sleep,
and therefore they do not dream.

   Some cultures believe the dream world to be just as significant, as real as the waking world. The gap between dream
consciousness (where boundaries are fluid and all things are possible) and daytime consciousness,(dominated by "Control
and "Definition") and this "gap" is spanned by Imagination.

   The bridge of Imagination may be tall and majestic, or a perilous contraption of swinging vines,but across it has
traveled very artistic and scientific achievement of our species.

    Conversely most of the "roads" to civilized progress have been erected by dull-witted ones who lacked the ability
to make unlikely connections or to "envision" anything that does not exist; who lack, in other words, "Imagination!"

    Without the capacity to project unlimited freedom of the dream state onto the strictures of daily survival,
human~beings would be as rigid as a workaholic ant! Over time, we might even lose our need to sleep!

      ...Can you IMAGINE a world without comfy, flannel pajamas!?"
