Inspiration

    Some things just have a way of entering your mind and taking root there.  They weave their tendrils into your brain, capturing your imagination and ensnaring your thoughts.  They put down roots, sinking deeper into your subconsciousness and then they put out flowers and fill your dreams with brilliant colors and fabulous dreams.  Then, something else enters and grows, and then something else, and then something else until your mind is a garden full of thoughts, ideas, dreams, hopes, wishes, and desires.  And that garden, in turn, becomes yourself.
