“Our ability to dream of something different, to name longing, to articulate a vision and commit to it, directly correlates to the likelihood that we will experience it, that it will be realized. It's the way we bring about change for ourselves, and for the world. When we are besieged by visions that do not match our longing, some of which are sinister, it's unlikely that we'll stumble into freedom. Freedom is in the gaps, in the nascent and emergent, in the unexamined space between things-but it is there. We can call it down. We call it down when we listen to our dreams. When we let the unconscious and the imaginal show us the way around what it is we see right now. We call it down when our present can be in conversation with what could be. In prayer or meditation, in what we ritualize, our visions become more real the more space we give to them. There are already visions around you that have shaped most everything about our world. If they do not serve us, perhaps it is time to revisit our imaginations, perhaps it is time to dream new dreams.” From the brilliant Prentis Hemphill’s new book ~ What It Takes To Heal https://t.co/IADtAkqCyS And another reason I’m so glad we are doing our third year of the Imagination Infrastructures event.
