living in wonderland

"I can't believe THAT!" said Alice.

"Can't you?" said the Queen in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said, "one can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why sometimes I believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!"

I love this excerpt from the book Alice in Wonderland. I loved the book too. Really captured my imagination. It is an interesting phrase, captured my imagination, its nothing like it really is, it's quite the opposite actually. Things that seem to capture our imaginations actually allow us to set it free. They tickle it, excite it, cause it to awaken and inspire it to soar. I was reminded of this today when I caught myself believing several impossible things before breakfast. Then again like the phrase captured my imagination, believing the impossible is another phrase that doesn't really make sense, when you believe the impossible it becomes possible and even the word itself screams at you or whispers I'M POSSIBLE.

I have come to enjoy believing in impossible things that too sends my imagination soaring and where my imagination goes creation is sure to follow. I guess that is what makes it so thrilling, daring to entertain an impossible thought draws me closer to attaining it and that is such a delightful rush. Choosing to beleive that impossible is possible takes me out to leading edge of creation, the leading edge of thought, a place only visionaries and inspired luminaries dare to venture but one that is open, has always been available to all.

I thinking beleiving in impossible things is a useful trait to foster. I intend to spend half an hour every day doing just that. Living in wonderland. I think it's gonna be fun.
