1
00:00:02,026 --> 00:00:03,860
Imagine that.

2
00:00:03,860 --> 00:00:05,872
Hello, my name is Noah.

3
00:00:05,872 --> 00:00:07,880
Imagine that to imagine

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,065
is the canvas of every painting

5
00:00:10,065 --> 00:00:11,702
waiting to be born

6
00:00:11,702 --> 00:00:13,867
on every artist brush.

7
00:00:13,867 --> 00:00:17,364
And we are, in our collective individuality,

8
00:00:17,364 --> 00:00:18,140
the paint,

9
00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:19,039
the painter

10
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,816
and the painting.

11
00:00:20,816 --> 00:00:23,428
Imagine that the definition of imagination

12
00:00:23,428 --> 00:00:25,480
defied definition,

13
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,607
and was as mysterious and as ineffable

14
00:00:28,607 --> 00:00:30,808
as the name of God.

15
00:00:30,808 --> 00:00:33,629
Imagine that to imagine was not a to-do list,

16
00:00:33,629 --> 00:00:35,777
but a to-be list.

17
00:00:35,777 --> 00:00:38,954
Imagine that to imagine was the soul's promise

18
00:00:38,954 --> 00:00:42,084
to every caterpillar in every cocoon

19
00:00:42,084 --> 00:00:46,390
that unseen wings were already being born.

20
00:00:46,390 --> 00:00:48,206
To imagine is the seeing of things

21
00:00:48,206 --> 00:00:50,093
which do not exist.

22
00:00:50,093 --> 00:00:51,439
To imagine is to envision

23
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:55,261
how what does not exist might yet look.

24
00:00:55,261 --> 00:00:58,384
To imagine is to comprehend that who you are

25
00:00:58,384 --> 00:01:00,814
is only this moment's truth.

26
00:01:00,814 --> 00:01:02,729
And the truth of who you are

27
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:06,327
is always in a state of gestation.

28
00:01:06,327 --> 00:01:08,997
To imagine is to take a running leap

29
00:01:08,997 --> 00:01:11,288
when a measured step, we are told,

30
00:01:11,288 --> 00:01:13,864
is the socially agreed sanity.

31
00:01:13,864 --> 00:01:16,731
To imagine is not to imagine you are a poet,

32
00:01:16,731 --> 00:01:19,048
but to know you are poetry,

33
00:01:19,048 --> 00:01:21,444
reminding yourself to take notes

34
00:01:21,444 --> 00:01:22,945
and take note.

35
00:01:22,945 --> 00:01:26,097
To imagine is to dream the "yes, you can",

36
00:01:26,097 --> 00:01:27,865
"yes, you will".

37
00:01:27,865 --> 00:01:30,005
To imagine is the permission given

38
00:01:30,005 --> 00:01:33,033
every parent to dream of a better world

39
00:01:33,033 --> 00:01:34,506
for every child

40
00:01:34,506 --> 00:01:36,455
and their children's children.

41
00:01:36,455 --> 00:01:38,981
Just as parents should not kiss their children

42
00:01:38,981 --> 00:01:40,865
so they will kiss them back,

43
00:01:40,865 --> 00:01:43,048
but so they will kiss their children

44
00:01:43,048 --> 00:01:45,480
and their children's children.

45
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,636
To imagine is not your right.

46
00:01:47,636 --> 00:01:50,375
It is your responsibility.

47
00:01:50,378 --> 00:01:52,960
To imagine is not a distant land.

48
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,736
It is not ahead of you.

49
00:01:54,736 --> 00:01:56,051
It is within you.

50
00:01:56,051 --> 00:01:59,535
And you are the passport to imagination.

51
00:01:59,535 --> 00:02:02,179
Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"

52
00:02:02,179 --> 00:02:03,447
Let us go

53
00:02:03,447 --> 00:02:05,034
and make our visit.

54
00:02:05,034 --> 00:02:06,664
Imagine that.
