As a child I remember wondering how I could get that imaginary world in my head actually down on paper. Well the writing didn't really start until years later. But whenever I hear that poem it reminds me of how it inspired me to want to write - and how wonderful the imagination is. Only, last night, the line: There I was, happily watching a film on TV, dozing just a little, when something walked across the living room floor and disappeared under an armchair.
It was brown, and it was about half the size of my cockatiel, Georgie, only I didn't see if it had a tail. In fact I don't know what it was, but for the next ten minutes I was stunned, petrified, stupefied and mummified!
Even Georgie was alarmed by my alarm, and probably thought I'd gone mad, as I eventually tried to make this unwanted intruder show itself — shove the chair, jump six inches off the floor, shove the chair again, jump six inches off the floor again Now I like animals, yes even mice so long as they're in cages or hanging onto an ear of corn in a country meadow on a balmy summer's day.
But strolling brazenly across my floor — Yipes!! So then the imagination took over. Was it just a little mouse that had sneaked in from the garden, or was it in fact a massive spider with short legs? Was it a baby rat? Was there a whole family of them? Welcome to Rose Chintz Cottage Hello! My name is Sandi and I am delighted you have stopped by.

The same applies to recipes. Imagination is what enables a person to turn a bunch of words into a wonderful dish. What do they mean by that? We watch movies, TV series, we play computer games etc.
We forget how to think in the abstract. We rely on imagination borrowed from somebody else. No invention would have been possible with the imagination of the inventor.
