But, my favorite books don't have pictures. Words allow for the imagination to work a little harder, to make up your own story, to paint your own picture.... So, to blog without photos is unthinkable! Why would anyone read (and clearly, I don't think anyone is...) But... if you follow me on IG or Facebook you can see what my life is like by what I post. Not all, just some. So, why can't our imaginations work just a little harder today?
We have this decorative tulip tree in our front yard... it's only supposed to grow about 15 feet tall... that's the generic tulip tree height. You grow them, and then trim them... on and on it goes. However, the one next to our house is probably 80 feet tall. Exaggeration? No! I don't really know how tall 80 feet IS but I think that's how tall my tree probably is! Some days I think it will come crashing down on our house during a wind storm but it's resilient and strong.
Maybe that's why so many people have a hard time with imagination... because we live in a world where we are always trimmed back, always groomed to appear a certain way, but when we are allowed to grow out of bounds and defy standards, defy gravity.. people can be astounded by our resilience & strength.
