Imaginary

Distinctions are sometimes made between the real and the imaginary. It seems a false distinction, one courted by western culture’s notorious incapacity to think metaphorically.

If anxiety has no basis in fact, it is no less stressful. The anger it provokes in response is no less controlling. The resentment and guilt that linger as a blinding afterglow are no less inhibiting.

It is only your imagination, some say. And you, of course, are only God’s.
