We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
– Novalis
Imagine if you could bleach a lie – if truth went viral – and testing and tracing and treatment accompanied it.
Imagine if we could have a leader like Jacinda Ardern.
Imagine if we could convince the overly social to go the distance.
Imagine a fleet of potent anti-bodies.
Imagine if we could crack the code spinning in the wind.
Imagine a vaccine.
What’s invisible to us is also crucial for our own well-being.
– Jeanette Winterson
Imagine if you had no iPhone, no iPad, no iTunes, no iMac – no Wi-Fi?
Imagine (now screen less) no Door Dash, Instacart or UPS?
Imagine the collapse of social media – no Facebook, no Instagram, no Twitter?
Imagine if quarantine, masked & gloved, shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders were medically induced terms in a Netflix sci-fi trailer?
Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it.
– Thomas Merton
Imagine how in pre-pandemic time you imagined all the things you could do – if only you had time.
What if you imagine isolation not as anti-social incarceration but a looking glass for the lost and found? A multi-faceted crystal for time travel – an orb for innovation.
Imagine the invisible. Imagine!
Wow potent thoughts Martha xxx
Nice to have time to think, and do things without the rush to run to some other task or distraction. I like this isolation. My garden is benefiting and I find more soulful time to myself. All good. Thanks for the imagining. And the photos Martha.
Solitude was new once time past
not a ready friend to another self.
now warmed to that embrace
my mind finds peace.
It is always mentally and emotionally and aesthetically elevating to hear from the Muse
Imagine solitude as a choice
Imagine finding your voice
again
Imagine knowing you
through your imagination
