"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." - Albert Einstein This is the way brilliance works – in the early hours by candlelight, the worn velvet moments of night. The world cannot contain it, and so it happens between each clock tick, microseconds of thought and tangible weakness finally released somewhere meaningful. Had ambiguous “they” taken into account the dichotomy between thought and feeling, the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the aching gulf between the head and something more primal, something built to survive, it would know it is the artists who hear the low hum missed during daytime, and poets the evening goose cry of all that builds and connects us. The next time you see that bridge arched over an angry, endless ocean, wonder and awe where it came from. It was not made during the living hours. Nor from the detached mind of singularity. See the billions of stars overlooking the universe? There is your source. There is your miracle of lights. There is imagination. -Katherine Gotthardt
