| What is a visionary? When we hear mention of such a person, it's often in the context of talking about great deeds, brilliant insights and inspiring notions. Most of us, if called a visionary, would accept it as a compliment.
But what if someone said that you were often overtaken by impractical ideas, or that you seemed governed by the supernatural? That you were childish or foolish? Yet, if you look in your dictionary, these are some of the meanings you'll find under the word "visionary." And that's exactly as it should be. Children are masters of vision, imagination, and inspiration precisely because they've not strangled those gifts with so many rules about what's 'normal', acceptable, or silly. They easily "make pretend," create and envision. Vision is inseparable from impracticality; it's fueled by creativity and inspiration, and in turn fuels and inspires others. After all, if a thing were highly practical or utterly ordinary, it wouldn't be very visionary, would it? Vision is inspired, as if by a source outside of our "business as usual" ways of thinking. Vision is the ability, or perhaps gift, to look beyond the ordinary and past the obvious, and imagine what might be possible. Our innate genuis requires that we create space for vision, inspiration, and creativity to arise and self-organize. Indeed, vision, imagination, intuition, and inspiration are what some would call 'Divine Gifts' available to us all, if we but open to and allow them to move through us. Visionaries "see with their other eyes" and "hear with their other ears," and are connected to a source of inspiration much higher and greater than their "smallest selves and minds" Visionaries light the way into higher and greater potential and possibilities. We at Ivy Sea celebrate vision, and the visionaries and "inspirationaries" among us, and offer some tools and ideas for inspiring the visionary in you that exists in us all. |
