I'm hoping to make a new thing for the world that remains in the mind like a new species of living thing.
I like to discover something new each day, to interpret the world in a way others might not, like a child might approach new experiences.
Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.
