i'm always being urged to use my imagination. yet all too often i end up using someone else's. i turn on the TV and watch a concocted drama. i read books, watch movies or go shopping - and buy items that have been designed and created by strangers. the more i allow other people's visions to set the tone of my own life, the less i can ever feel truly free. i must also be careful to guard against a subjugation of imagination within a relationship. if i let my partner do all the dreaming, life will soon become dull.

are you sailing in the same boat?
