We need to communicate with others, enhance our learning, earn a living, etc.<br /><br />But our 'inner world' ~ well there, Imagination leads, we're part of something much grander than we can even begin to imagine - and our sense of wonder, awe and magnitude is safe to unfold, without containment, as majestic as the night sky.<br /><br />I think he may be trying to express, within the limited boundary of words, the Soul's desire to achieve harmony with the Universe through his imagination.<br /><br />Then again, I'm an English Major from waaaaay back (though not as far back as Walt Whitman) ~ I often see themes and patterns that aren't actually there.<br /><br />(PS: I have not read <b>The Notebook</b> either, nor have I seen the movie ~ though the movie is my 15 year old's favourite of all time - so far.)Sallyhttp://sallyg.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31875004.post-22615858355822932572011-01-19T14:12:52.067-05:002011-01-19T14:12:52.067-05:00freedom of creativity without boundaries, maybe?freedom of creativity without boundaries, maybe?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31875004.post-33504296945377912562011-01-19T12:03:13.060-05:002011-01-19T12:03:13.060-05:00That quote made me smile because my post is how I ...That quote made me smile because my post is how I need to find that, how I can't find it, how I need to set my mind free...<br />You supplied an answer!mrs mediocrityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021079985184737831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31875004.post-47199483858124269242011-01-19T09:04:33.410-05:002011-01-19T09:04:33.410-05:00When I read it, it made me think of the following...When I read it, it made me think of the following quote I found when I was searching quotes for my post: "Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages."

Filling our soul with creativity and imagination...we soar above it all. And we ponder the deeper meanings of our existence.
