Our imagination is one of the greatest gifts we have received. Through it we are able to look beyond the mundane and the ordinary and see the most extraordinary view. Simply by changing our point of view, or perception, we are able to allow our imagination to carry us, spellbound, to a different world. This has happened to our boatman. Because he is in love, he glides along the stream, daydreaming. He is swept away by his imagination of nature as feminine beauty.
