What Blew My Mind Today


Fears are a normal part of life. Some of my biggest fears used to be: Kelpies, heights, failure, and torture. Then, as I was going through my bookshelf, I found a quote on the back of "Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams" that perfectly worded what I was always truly afraid of:

"What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.... If I sit still and don't do anything, the world goes on beating like a slack drum, without meaning. We must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward; the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine."
-- Sylvia Plath, from Notebooks, February 1956

Yours Truly,
Katie W.
