Fwd: thought

It is pretty well known  that we have two hemispheres of the brain. One side deals with logic and language and the other with images, shapes, art, and story. To be a whole person we need to let both sides of our brain work. Our imaginative capacities enable us to step out of the "facts of now" and into imagination of what might be. "Children offer the world a special blend of fantasy and reality……children remind us that our 'real' lives can be nurtured by our imaginations." It is a special gift of Creator that we have both reason and imagination. The heart of Advent/Christmas/Hanukkah calls for imagination. The "nuts and bolts" of God's coming into our lives and the world to deliver us and love us is not the important point. Imagine that we really are God's children and God comes into the crazy and messed up world to fill us with the Joy of Life…….
