Imagination

"Imagination is the mystic word which is too often lost from the vocabulary of daily thought. It is a soul exercise, which makes possible many otherwise impossible things and experiences. Imagination is the activity of a soul which takes hold of difficulty, and by a little manipulation either tears away the mask and reveals a helper, or turning the difficulty around, finds it an aid walking backwards."
—Elmer Willis Serl, The Laughter of Jesus, 1911
