The Importance of Castles in The Air

Apparently there is an idiom for daydreaming awake of what our heart envisions with disregard for our minds...for having unrealistic desires, or plans that appear so impractical that they will never work, illusory, or a futile flight of fancy, it is what we tend to call Castles in the Air/ Sky. And often it comes to us prefixed with, 'DO NOT...build castles in the air...' but can you imagine what the world would be if anyone had ever refrained from the impossible dream?

So today as a necessary component to being 'a creative' (self-defined noun) I post about the dreaming: big and small of mine...the thinking with my heart and not my head:

I absolutely love this post,...it reminds me of quaker thoughts of the light within and how living in this world, being in this life is so important and that moment is what contains the spiritual side of things, not some other world but the one inside and around each of us. thank-you for sharing this beauty.

one impossible dream - to embody ponyo and to squirt on others such as lautcelletni bons (*hint: read sdrawkcab*) all the while making the deadline for concentration this friday while raising finger monkeys (look them up, they exist!) in a 1920s vintage dollhouse.

Day dreaming is where we want to go. So the more adventurous we are in the dream the more adventure or life has. Impossible is the result of doing nothing.

By feeding our imagination with dreams we feed the source of our desires and that in tern gives us strength to face the mundane.
