Sidewalk Says...

Every time I walk from work to the grocery store before catching my bus, I pass a particular square of sidewalk that makes me quite happy. Today I finally stopped to take a picture of it...

"There is no greater power than imagination. Believe, and doing becomes easy."

I love whoever wrote that into the sidewalk, because that phrase is great in two ways.

1. It says you can do whatever you believe you can do. I think it's too easy to fail to believe in yourself before pursuing a dream, or even an everyday task.

2. The first half in and of itself: There is no greater power than imagination. Imagination is the foundation of all stories, and I think in many ways stories are vital to the foundation of who we are as people and as a collective.

Both of these things are worth remembering more often.

So, to whoever saw this slab of wet cement and decided to make their mark in it, bravo. Good choice of words. If you ever see me walking to the grocery store, stop me so I can give you a high five.
