starting my year off right with one of my favorites, mary ruefle, who never fails to shift how i think about the world in small but enormously significant ways.
"the imagination has its own life and its own autonomy, the imagination is not what you play with, the imagination plays with you. it has the power to both create and destroy, in form and deform.
imagination, deep in each of us, can give us what we need and want, that which we dream of, the reality of love and communion, help in our tired loneliness. haven’t you heard it said that one has to imagine the possibility of such dreams before they can become a reality, that one has to have dreamt of them?"

innerlines's review against another edition
I cannot begin to express the absolute joy I felt while reading this. I came in with no expectations and was just blown away. I just might read it whenever I’m feeling down from here on out; It’s exactly what I needed on a day like today.
