Questions from the back of the card: Imagination

the interesting idea... the start of this project... the conversations to come

I'm a member of Post Crossing, the internet site for postcard exchange. I sent a card to another Post Crosser, Ilona from Germany. She asked that people tell her which magical power they would like to have. Her question really made me think!

In turn, I thought it would be an interesting project to ask people to pose Thought-Provoking Questions. I would do my best to answer with my opinion, and I would encourage others to add theirs.

And, so was born this blog! I hope that it will be the home for many interesting conversations in the year ahead!

Dreaming a little dream....

Did you ever dream you were dreaming? And then dreamed you woke up? And then realized you were still dreaming? And wondered if you're dreaming still?

Huh?

One Post Crosser asks, "Am I really writing this card or do I just think I am writing this card or do I think I think I am writing this card?"

While another wonders, "Have you ever wondered if your dreams are, in fact, when you are really awake and what you see around you now is a dream?"

Post Crossers discover dream theory and recursive imagery, all in the same day. My head hurts again.

Le Petit Prince

One of my very favorite books!

And a question based on the book...

Is it better to know less?

In the book, the Little Prince asks for a drawing of a sheep. Although the character of whom the Prince makes the request complies, the Prince is never satisfied until the drawing is a sheep in a box.

A corollary question: If you know too much, can you still imagine?
