Be What You Can Imagine: Incremental Headway - Part Two (26)

Perception rolls are helpful, especially when we roll high. All it takes is a belief in the dice. You have to choose to roll them and then own the outcome. The more you roll, the better the odds of a new adventure. You have to connect with the energy of the ether, connect your spirit with the synergy of everything because every atom, every molecule, every cell is connected and in constant communication- exchanging electrons, transferring glucose and hormones, and combining elements to form new fragments and particles.

We are in continual chaos, homeostasis, chaos- even down to the most finite, minuscule, instantaneous. We are forever changing- our minds, our focus, our opinion, our purpose. We are adapting, altering, re-imagining. This is science, magic, past, present, future. This is unity, complexity and growth. We are duplicating cells and losing them just as quickly. We are in constant exchange of energy. This is the beauty of everything- that everything is connected.

Within this flow of energy, this faithful ether, there is a lot of noise- change is tumultuous and chaos is noisy. But within the disarray- there is entropy. Within the pandemonium, there is calm. Within the cacophony there is music. Within the flow of instruments there is a note that captures our attention. It bypasses the discord to form the most beautiful key- it singles itself out because it has perfect pitch. It attracts us, focuses us- and all other sound, mutes.

We are embodied by this, entangled in its charm. One note, one chord, one thought- honed. Maybe this becomes words, maybe it becomes images- maybe both. Until it becomes magic, imagination, curiosity and finally an idea. This then leads us to action. This is when we vibrate on the same frequency as the ether, the energy. Waves, ripples, rustling, converging into a movement, a momentum- both personal and connected. A bridge between the unknown and the known.

The more we listen- the more the ether presents itself to us. The more we believe- the more it believes in us. The more we act upon its advice, the more it offers us. The more we enter its expanse, the more surface area it provides us. So we can build a diving board, erect a tower of observation, construct a vehicle in which we can submerge, traverse or take flight deeper into its borders. This relationship is reliant on faith.

It is strengthened by a purposeful and eager mind. It is maintained through vigilance and intentional listening. It requires us to be in the moment. Because the ether changes constantly- it is the energy and spirit of life and if we don't pay attention to its call, we will miss the opportunities it finds for us. It might not give us what we want, but it will give us what we need and it will give us the energy to investigate and grow within the expanse of our imaginations.

Incremental headway- pushing against the limits of our own construct. Yet even when we lose sight, we gain another. We always seem to find the pulse of creativity. It might be brief- let us create a memorable meal. It might be extended- we design a lesson or complete a project. It might be prolonged- inspiring us to write a book or create a beautiful painting.

We always find the resonance needed to step away from the mundane into the fluctuations of imagination. Its what makes us human. Be what you can imagine- enter the ether with full willingness and admiration and it will never let you down.
