A writing legend passed away.
The thing about Ray Bradbury is he was an advocate for the human imagination. He was able to, perhaps he was compelled to, bring vistas and scenarios from his mind to the page in a manner that made the incredible seem not just plausible, but immediate and unassailable. His superpower was his imagination, and he inspired that wonderful thing in his readers, as well.
The best way to honor him and to remember him is to do something creative, today. Write that story, draw that sketch, play that song, wear that outfit, think that thought that came from you and only you.
That’s the way to say thanks to a writer like him.
