Some people have what old folks call “sight.” This mysterious sight allows them to “see” or foretell events before they happen. Perhaps what they’re really possessed of is an overactive imagination. Seers describe what will happen as though it is a foregone conclusion. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. exhibited imagination when he foretold of black children joining hands with white children in brotherhood in the segregated Deep South — a notion that was surely antithetical to reality at that time. Sojourner Truth visualized her freedom long before she experienced it and that sight carried her to the Promised Land nearly 40 years before slavery was abolished in America. The brilliant physicist, Dr. Ronald E. McNair, rose from poverty and racism — he was not allowed to use the public library as a youth to feed his love for math and science — to earn a Ph.D. from MIT and went on to become a NASA astronaut. It took an abundance of prescience for Dr. McNair to achieve such astounding feats in the face of the daunting odds against him. For some of us, the biggest obstacle to creating a life filled with stupendous achievements is lack of imagination. Some of us cannot imagine a different reality than the one we are experiencing, so consequently, our fantasy life is also deficient. We won’t allow our daydreams to include climbing our own Mt. Everest; we might not reach the summit, we might fall, we don’t have the right equipment — there’s no end to the barriers we can erect. But what would happen if we followed the dictates of fantastic visions? We might just soar! I’m not advising anyone to neglect the business of their daily lives. You must go to work, be a dutiful parent, spouse, etc. But, if you leave a little room in your life for playacting, you just might uncover a hidden gem. You might discover a new possibility for your life. You might conjure up your own rainbow. Peace.
