Defining = Limiting August 25th 2022

 “Definitions belong to the definers, not the defined."

Toni Morrison, from "Beloved” 1987

"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!"
Dr. Seuss

"When you start to develop your powers of empathy and imagination, the whole world opens up to you."
Susan Sarandon

Thoughts:
Whew! I read the Toni Morrison quote to mean it is us we limit when we define something. To determine that someone or something is 'this' or 'that' means we stop seeing anything more than our definition. We could see so much more if our imaginations were allowed to see beyond what we have defined. 
Cheers
