"Are You Ready to Embrace the Wild Call of Imagination?"

A small introspective

By Jassila Published about a year ago 2 min read

Have you ever felt like you're adrift in a vast sea of existence, seeking connection, seeking purpose?

Well, let me tell you something profound: you're not alone.

In fact, you're an integral part of a grand tapestry, woven with the threads of imagination and reality.

So, lean in a little closer as we embark on a philosophical voyage, guided by the wise words of Mary Oliver and the wild geese.

Imagine, you're standing at the edge of a cliff, overlooking a breathtaking landscape.

The wind whispers ancient secrets, and the wild geese dance across the sky, their calls echoing in your soul.

In that moment, you realize something extraordinary - the world isn't just a passive backdrop to your life; it's an active participant, inviting you to engage with it, to imagine, to create.

Now, let's dissect Mary Oliver's poignant words: "Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things."

Whoever you are... It doesn't matter if you're a dreamer, a skeptic, or someone in between. The world doesn't discriminate.

It extends its hand to everyone, regardless of background or belief. But, it's up to you to reach out and grasp that outstretched hand.

No matter how lonely... Loneliness is a universal experience, but it's also a powerful catalyst for introspection and growth.

It's during those solitary moments that we often hear the world's call most clearly.

It's a call to action, a call to embrace our individuality while recognizing our interconnectedness.

The world offers itself to your imagination... Imagination isn't just child's play; it's the cornerstone of human experience.

It's what allows us to envision new worlds, challenge the status quo, and forge our own paths.

The world isn't static; it's a canvas waiting for the brushstrokes of your imagination to bring it to life.

Calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting... Life isn't always smooth sailing.

It can be harsh and unforgiving at times, but therein lies its beauty.

The wild geese remind us that even in the face of adversity, there is still beauty to be found, still joy to be experienced.

Over & over announcing your place in the family of things... We are not isolated beings; we are part of something much larger than ourselves.

Like members of a vast, intricate family, we each have a role to play, a unique contribution to make.

And when we heed the world's call, we find our place in this grand family of things.

So, dear friend, I leave you with this question: Are you listening?

Are you ready to embrace the world's invitation, to let your imagination soar like the wild geese?

The world offers itself to your imagination, my friend.

It's time to heed the call, spread your wings, and soar into the infinite realms of possibility.

The wild geese are waiting, and your place in the family of things awaits.

The choice is yours, and the journey awaits.
