A special Greeting from Dusty

Even with all of the busy activity involved with getting our son established at college, I have taken time to sit out at Tho'ts Inn frequently. We have the honor of being entertained by the beauty of myriad monarch and other varieties of butterflies this year. Sometimes they flutter back in forth in front of my face or land on my shoulder, saying, "it is good to absorb the beauty of nature." It is, indeed!
If you'd care to visit, you'll see my recent journal entry at Tho'ts Inn

Accepting the Gift
by Dusty Reed
Through the ages, it is recorded that a visionary receives acceptance by humanity as one who recognizes a special sense. Does everyone have this special sense?
Physical bodies and mental processes are similar. There is scientific discussion about a sixth sense. Just as scientists have made a discovery of an expanding universe, so there are still undiscovered sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth senses. Most are beyond our comprehension at this time.
This knowing is my truth. It may be skepticism or unbelievable for some. They smile and say, "You have a vivid imagination."
What is imagination? Thomas Edison and other inventors had imagination. They became aware of undiscovered truths that were awaiting implementation.
A possible new definition for imagination is that it is one of our senses. It has been curtailed as non-reality. It has lost its significance in the necessity of a balanced and fulfilled life. What is reality?
Is there more to life than seeing the mauve and transfixing flame sunset, smelling the spice of a rose, tasting the sweetness of honey, hearing the rich melody of music, and touching reality?
Other senses within humanity are awaiting implementation. It is not just learning about our senses; it is putting them into action by using them.
Isn't it possible each of us has a particle of visionary wisdom? What good is the ninety percent of the brain that does not receive exercise. By allowing it to surface, this visionary wisdom has opportunity to emerge into a healthy accepted allocation of our being.
What gain would it bring to exercise this gift? Would it provide humanity with a deeper sense of Love? Would there still be war if everyone used it? Would there be an intimacy with nature not previously experienced?
Are not relationships the essential force of creation? Would it make a difference in our world if everyone exercised this gift?
We do not order all people to discover and become visionaries. Still, we can exercise and bring this gift to surface within us and see a difference in attitudes, personality, our self-esteem, our effect upon society.
To discover your imagination working, write, "Love is..." and give one hundred answers. After that, seek five hundred answers and then one thousand.
Images are the root of imagination. We see life, the colors of nature, other living creatures, written words, all of creation as images. They give our mind a certain signal. Imagination gives the images the freedom to express complete wholeness and reality. This is beyond what today's social consciousness allows as acceptable. We are dissolving those barriers by discovering new nuggets of wholeness and wisdom.
We can each take the journey, discover the message of the wind, of our breath. We can reach new understanding and change our world.

Butterfly Beauty
by Dusty Reed
Enchanted butterfly beauty
Colorful, light and free
As a caterpillar first lived
Unimportant creature indeed
Spun into a crinkled paper package
Mysterious magic performed
Providing a lacy, transformed
work of art
An exciting surprise to the world
Even to butterfly beauty.
