Lack of knowledge starves it
So…
Feed imagination with knowledge
Energize it with paradox.” -Timothy W., a CLF member incarcerated in New York

“I use my imagination to escape prison. I think about what my life would be like if I was not in prison. When I’m in the hole or when I try to sleep at night, I cover my eyes, and imagine my books are in stores.” -Josh B, a CLF member incarcerated in Florida

“There is one word that is particularly vital to understanding people who are in some way different; one word that allows for the hospitality toward strangers to be real and authentic; one word for the work of being an ally to come alive. The word is imagination. Imagination is the critical piece of recognizing and honoring differences. There is no way to fully understand another person’s experiences…but there is hope through imagination. Imagination builds a bridge between what I know of my experiences and what you share with me of yours.” -Douglas Taylor

“My imagination is my lifeline. It has been crucial for my survival. As a child I grew up in a very violent home. My imagination kept my mind safe even when my body wasn’t but it doesn’t stop there. Would we be able to mentally handle all of the hate and fear in this world without a little imagination? Hoping for something better, something new, I stretch my imagination muscle every day.” -Brandi G, a CLF member incarcerated in North Carolina
