Category Archives: imaginationI had the opportunity of going to MoMA yesterday evening. I was actually there for a lecture on economics!

In order to achieve any balance we must be cognizant of the need to eliminate extremes of wealth and poverty. If we accepted the notion that all the peoples of the earth were entitled to basic inalienable rights and that this is not merely an American Ideal, but a God given right to all, then we would never allow the changing tides of any economy to starve a people, leave children uneducated or deny women and children an equal right to live. We would rise together to resolve the impediments to anyone first. |

beth - @ Nina , Ooh I’m so glad you stopped in! What are you imagining lately?
@Fred I have trouble imagining that. You are doing this all tonight? Let me know how it is working for you. As I wrote this I was thinking about that experiment with the fly in the glass jar. You put plastic wrap over the top opening and after bumping his head enough, the fly doesn’t go near the top any more. After you remove the plastic wrap, he doesn’t understand that he can get out! Sometimes I think that is what we do to ourselves. We are so used to living with a certain set of limitations that we do not see opportunities when they present themselves. let me know how it goes with acting as if…
fred - Hey Beth
Great ideas. At first I thought I would start tomorrow. But how typical that would be of me. I am going to put some of your ideas into action tonight. Thanks!
Fred
Nina - FABULOUS!!!!
