Imagination is our Whole Souul Living Theme for March. Consider this quote from J. K. Rowling;
Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and, therefore, the foundation of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
As the quote implies, imagination has a very big job to do in human life! Some have argued that what is being metaphorically referred to in the Book of Genesis, when it says that humankind was created in the image of God, is exactly this capacity to imagine and create. As we explore Imagination this month, consider and share your reflections on the following questions:
• Recall a time when your imagination created new possibilities.
• What do you consider the source of your imagination?
• Is it only imagination that allows compassion?
• Consider the persistent problems of the world. Is our inability to solve them a failure of will, or a failure of imagination, our ability to imagine something better?
