To explore the mysteries of life.

Maybe it’s the imagination. That makes life worthwhile. I can imagine being Napoleon. Or Caesar. Or Alexander the Great. But that doesn’t make me crazy. Because I still know that I am me. Very sane. Because I am using my imagination in a constructive way. To help me understand history. Sometimes I imagine living as a dog or a cat or a fish. As a rock or a tree, too. But my favorite imagined role is that of a spirit. Capable of exploring the mysteries of life. --Jim Broede
