My father enjoys reading books by Dr. Seuss. He revisited “To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street!” while reading to my young niece on a hot summer day. This book is full of fun and adventure, the product of a little boy’s wild imagination. Imagining is uniquely human. It is the ability to form images, ideas, and sensations in the mind from input of the senses. Albert Einstein said; “Imagination…is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world”. Read more at: www.wikipedia.org.
The image drawn by my father is entitled “Mulberry Street”, representing a brief State of Being, not an actual street which is filled with characters described in Dr. Seuss’ book. Mulberry Street is an historical location in New York City, the place of Dr. Seuss’ birth in Massachusetts, and the place of many pleasant memories in the small town on the Ohio River where my father grew up, one block from Mulberry St. The picture representing this State of Being is a Morula, (Mulberry), a tiny member of our human community. We have all passed through, grown, and lived in and on “Mulberry Street”.
Try to imagine a universe where all who live in and on this street are allowed to continue to develop until they can begin to imagine for themselves. Imagine those who don’t recognize the humanity of those on Mulberry Street, having a complete Metanoia, and finally granting all the rights due to this very weak, vulnerable clump of human cells.
Hepp me, hepp me!
