Today when Zehn got home from school he ran in and excitedly asked me if he could go back to meet 3 girls at the flagpole (oh man....) because they were going to build a time machine. I walked back across the street to meet the girls and make sure that things were ok with this adventure.
As I suspected, even though the kids had great plans of building the time machine right then, the parents had different plans and that included taking the kids home for the day. So, the 3 girls and Zehn formed a plan to meet up tomorrow morning to start planning the best time machine ever. One girl took charge and assigned Zehn the task of finding metal. (I'm not sure that I am going to send him to school with a backpack of metal tomorrow though..... this time machine may have to be built out of plastic).
Anyhow, when we got home Zehn said to me "Mom, imagination is SOOOO important. Without imagination, we don't really even have a life". I thought long and hard about what he said and about how profound this statement could be in my life and the lives of others. Where in our life do we stop dreaming, imagining and believing that we can build a time machine out of metal (plastic) and a lightbulb. These kids are going back to visit the dinosaurs.
I am going to take this lesson that my son has taught me and begin to apply it in my life.
"Imagination is Soooo important. Without imagination, we don't really have a life........"
I challenge you to do the same. Dream......Inspire....Believe......
Love - Jenn
