"If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer,
a wisher,
a liar,
a hoper,
a prayer,
a magic-bean-buyer.
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire,
for we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in! Come in!”


“Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts,
the impossibles,
the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me...
anything can happen, child. Anything can be."


“This bridge will only take you halfway there,
to those mysterious lands you long to see.
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fair,
and moonlit woods where unicorns run free.
So come and walk awhile with me and share the twisting trails and wonderous worlds Ive known.
But this bridge will only take you halfway there. The last few steps you have to take alone."

-Written by the late, great Shel Silverstein
 
Shel was a wonderful author and i owe a lot of my curious thought process to his works. He taught me how to think about an object in new and unusual ways.

Would you mind if i put the authors name in the title so others know its a tribute instead of an original work?
