“A Failure of Imagination”

Fall, 2005


Summer is winding down. Already there are tiny red leaves on a few of the trees and more turtles in evidence drinking in sunshine and heat from their perches of floating mats of grass on the pond.



This is the first set of notes for the website. My hope is they may provide a focus for some reflection about ourselves, our world, and the forces at work in it. In future “Notes,” I hope to be able to use this forum to respond to any of you who read this and would like to express your own ideas or concerns. Please feel free to email me at cecile@cecilecarson.com.


In my dream,
the angel shrugged
and said if we fail this
time it will be a
failure of the imagination

and then she
placed the world
gently in the
palm of my hand.
