Discovery vs Recovery

Bird surprised me with a show today; Cirque Du Soleil! Perfect timing to watch the show today for many reasons! I have always wanted to watch, but just didn't get to do it. Oh and how it makes me want to watch them live! A lyrics in it triggers a thought, an insight. "Return to where you belong"

Here's my insight:
There is an invisible line between innovative thinking and imaginative exploration. Like the statement, I feel like I have traveled quite a journey so far and its time to reunite with my core where I belong. The diversity in the show has revealed a side of me that I have almost forgotten. Me who is imaginative and ever changing.

I who is an ever shifting kaleidoscope. The angel, the devil. The existence, the non existence. The dream, the truth. The lightness, the boldness. The colors, the dark. The surface, the depth. The reflections, the perceptions.I encompasses so much more than what I have known for the past years.

So you may ask what's the difference between innovative thinking and imaginative exploration. Here's my interpretation: I have always think, brainstorm for ideas to meet an objective that serves certain function. It's more like a solution to problem approach of thinking. It's a great sense of satisfaction! So what's imaginative exploration? It's about opening ourselves to the intuitive flow, letting imagery fill our minds without a specific objective to solve any challenge. It's more of a journey of discovery instead of recovery. This journey of discovery of letting our imagination grows will add more dimension to an innovative mind and freeing it to new possibilities that we may have missed out when we are all focusing on innovative thinking.
