108 Marbles
See it in your mind
And you will find
In your imagination
Mysteries and magic
Visions fantastic
Leading to strange and wondrous dreams
Dreams are make believe
but could they all come true ?
And you will find
In your imagination
Mysteries and magic
Visions fantastic
Leading to strange and wondrous dreams
Dreams are make believe
but could they all come true ?
In your Imagination
In your Imagination
Deep in your mind
It's magic you'll find
When out of the night
The forces ignite
To blind you with frightening speed
You use your might
To brighten the light
creating a night of wondrous dreams
Disneyland’s “Fantasmic” Finale
It's magic you'll find
When out of the night
The forces ignite
To blind you with frightening speed
You use your might
To brighten the light
creating a night of wondrous dreams
Disneyland’s “Fantasmic” Finale

The last time I was in Disneyland, I actually started crying during the night spectacle Fantasmic when the song went into the power of imagination. Not sure exactly what was moved inside of me, but I’m sure that it had something to do with the huge world that has evolved from the fertile soil of one man’s imagination.
I have a friend who used to marvel at my creativity. She said that I could make things out of nothing. She would also say that she was not creative, yet when I looked around her, I noted a home with two great children and a husband who loved her dearly. She was incredible in her ability to create the life and love that she wanted - this to me is an amazing creative ability. We all create, we just create differently.
My creating right now revolves around writing - I’m in the middle of writing my first draft of Burlesque Palace. When I submitted the outline, the agreement of my prof and classmates was that I had taken the whole first season and put it into the pilot. My job was to picture the arc of the first season then write the first episode in the arc. What I’m noticing now is that all my knowledge, all my book research is not getting me far enough. The dialogue is coming out flat. Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge” and I’ve tried bridging the gap with my imagination but the block is this: I don’t really know how someone from New Orleans talks. I know the Southern drawl - but it seems stereotypical and inauthentic. It’s like trying to learn a language from a book without being immersed in the way the words are strung together in the music of a language.

I keep having this pestering thought, “Go down to New Orleans.” I argue back saying, “I can’t - I’m in school, Christmas is coming, I’ve got kids to take care of, when I don’t work - I don’t get paid, I can’t afford it, etc.” But the voice is persistent, “Go down to New Orleans.” And even though I know it’s highly impractical, the idea gets me excited.
You are creative: you’re the creator of your life. Look around at what you’ve created. What else do you want to create? What have you already created that you haven’t stopped and appreciated?
Einstein wrote, "“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.”
