Spontaneity, Imagination and Wonder…
The set of expressions resulting from these is where I truly feel at ease. Yet the impression of these, I imagine, seems where ego (with its status or its bragging with myths of what ought to be) seems to get in the way.
Human paradox, how of beauty you are!
While feigning ignorance toward an other’s dismissal, these are my engines of multi-directionality, diversity and the holding of paradoxes —metaphorically, as I imagine quantum entanglement to be experienced; If only I consciously could.
I love life free of the fixed idea; spontaneous. It’s a purely imagined place for my consciousness. A place for those strange loops of mine to roam free, feeding-back within my brain. It is where my childhood’s unicorns, knights, dragons or blue extraterrestrials reside. That life is with spontaneity, imagination and wonder.
A noticeable number of humans seem to slap these down with various shouts that non of them are found in-between the stats, the data, the models, the forecasts, the plans, the urgencies, the importance of seeming busy and better, the P&Ls, the geopolitics, the ideologies, the macroeconomics, the engineered manipulations, calculations, processes, surfaces or mechanisms. There hardly seems a place for wonder, spontaneity, and imagination in the decorum of the imposed real.
Depending on who the judge is: realism, pragmatism, utilitarianism, practicality, rationality or rather cynicism, are unnecessarily referenced as the daggers to their doom; begone spontaneity, imagination and wonder? Is then the real that what is ignited by a degree of fear?
I also wonder… are they paradoxically even more so there, in those who deny the existence, importance and influences of that same yet less matured spontaneity, imagination or wonder?
Are they who dismiss these then also they who resort to external escapes, constructed by the wonder, imagination and spontaneity of others?
Could it be that if one may not wonder, one may not ask; If one may not ask one may not imagine; If one may not imagine one may not express spontaneity; If one may not use these one might not mature these?
I wonder, what say you?
