Engaging the void

Sometimes navigating space and time has an absense of the sense of reality which is unusually surreal. When thinking is literally too intense to keep at it, it is time to enter a new environment of mystery. Here is where the void comes in, where the coordinates exist only momentarily and keep changing with the imagination leaving the void, without boundaries, without time. We have a tendancy of making boundaries for our imagination within the walls built by fear and excess. In the void these boundaries disappear along with the coldness of routine and familiarity. The void is made to be filled with whatever wonder is left outside of boundaries, outside of time. Within the void the normal energy used up in navigating time and space in its entirety is put into the imagination. Within the realm of the imagination anything is possible. As the imagination engages the void, the void becomes changed, renewed, warmed. The void becomes an environment where the possible merges the impossible and change becomes the usual. Life is usually lived within time and space but without the imagination the intrigue and excitement is stilled and we are left in a fog with what seems like a mirage. Time and space left without the input of the imagination becomes tenuously vacant and sterile.
