I Imagine the most beautiful place I know of.
Is it my imagination or is it real? What if my Imagination can make it real? What if a mere figment of my imagination can become the first impulse to creating the very thing I have been imagining?
What if I can actually think something into being? 
There's got to be some rules to it, I suppose. We'll explore that, first, in my next post.
Okay- back up. What is Imagination? It's when I can picture a scene, a place, a story, a creature, a person... anything, really - that is not factual. I make it up in my mind. That's how authors write books, how artists create sculptures and pictures, how composers write their music, how children come up with their play. (If they still know how to play. But that's a question worth it's own post, and I promise, I'll get there).
So, Tolkien's Middle Earth might exist? What if it does? What if we dare to keep questions open and unanswered and try to be comfortable not knowing something?
My original title idea for this blog was simply: WHAT IF? and then I'd be following my stream of consciousness, creating scenes and creatures, situations and societies, you name it - just following one WHAT IF. Readers can send me their What If questions. Because I will still follow this pattern, even if the blog had to come into existence under a different name, because WHAT IF was already taken. I'm sure I will research this other blogger and say hello.
Bear with me as I slowly build the look of this blog in the tiny little spare time i can find between fix-points on my busy schedule.

Ready, Set, Go!
