An Unexpected Journal: Imagination

By

Description

The Power of Imagination
Our imaginations are often treated as relics of our childhood. We are told to grow up and leave that sense of awe and wonder behind. What if these modernistic tendencies were entirely wrong? What if we were meant to live enchanted lives, seeing the world with the joy and amazement?

This collection of essays, stories, and poems is meant to explore the power of the imagination and its unique connection to our human nature.
