The Lake of Imagination

By SA_Sam1971 | samantha_smith | 29 Jun 2021

Today I dipped my hand into the Lake
Of Imagination.
I intended to stay,
For only a short while,
Dabbling, stroking the surface...
But I lingered a little,
Too long, perhaps?

It drew me in,
I surrendered.
Creativity pulsed,
Through my being,
Electric, affirming,
My thoughts,
A rainbow,
Rippling and reflecting across the surface.

I felt alive...
To possibility.
To being...
In the moment.
Present.

Aware of nothing,
But the kaleidoscope of potentiality.

Imagination.
Do I dive deeper,
Or come up for air?

Mountains are my happy place

samantha_smith

Travelling this journey we call life, striving to enjoy the moments, not sweating the small stuff. The mountains are my happy place; my family and friends, my rocks. My passions drive me and bring me joy: research, books, writing, hiking, vegan lifestyle, health & well being, cooking, philosophy, travel, crypto, blockchain, photography, technological advances, education, music, NFL, last but not least my children :-) Sharing my passions and helping others in the process keeps me humble.
