     A quotation about imagination by Fred Rogers "When children pretend, they're using their imaginations to move beyond the bounds of reality. A stick can be a magic wand. A sock can be a puppet. A small child can be a superhero." As adults, we never stop dreaming. When we dream, we release doubt and fly free with our desires. 
    move beyond the bounds of reality. A stick can be a magicwand. A sock can be a puppet. A small child can be asuperhero.
