The way I see it, now is the opportunity to power up and hone one's imagination. People who lack imagination fall into the "doom and gloom," the "I can't do this or that," everything is impossible, and so on. Things can be terrible indeed, but when you have your imagination, you have the world

This is wonderful Grumbling Grumbledore.

'Harnessing' the imagination to 'envision' possibilities is something many of us develop (or are developing) later in life (SAD COUGH).
This is a separate use of the imagination from 'creating' art works. It can go hand in hand and how wonderful that will be.
