1/ We will travel longer distances and visit infinitely more places with our mind than with our body in our lifetime.

-
6/ Intuition suggests places, imagination shapes them, curiosity explores them. Look no further than the mind for the creator.
-
7/ By travelling in imagination we acquire knowledge and experience that shapes & defines us in our embodied, present life.
-
8/ Art and literature are portals to other realities—other lives—made by other minds with the implicit intention of us accesing them.
-
9/ Imagination transcends time and space as physical properties. The more we use it the more "lives" we get, the richer we become.
-
10/ Still we must concede to the obvious truth: we only have one life and there isn't time for everything.
-
11/ What our lives will look like can only be ascertained when looked at in hindsight.
-
12/ And when we look at the past we inevitably see all the possibilities of experience that have been excluded.
-
13/ We see how narrow a trajectory we have truly travelled and how it can only be meaningful that way. A bittersweet realization.
-
14/ This is our path in life: finite, limited, constrained and defined by more factors than we can possibly control or understand.
-
15/ Yet we fail to remember the other paths we took, the millions of imaginary roads travelled in our mind.
-
16/ And those travels are not in vain; They might in fact constitute the basis of what enabled our actual trajectory.
-
17/ If there is anything that approximates immortality, transcending time, in this existence, it must be imagination.
-
18/ Our mind knows nothing of death. Imagination blissfully persists, eternally. We will forever travel—even on our deathbeds.
