"I assemble, collect, incorporate dreams, funneling life
fulfilling goals to natural completion, from investigations of utmost interest
to me, I acknowledge thee radical thought in my life, the means to productive
creation. You could say, my head is sprouting loose wires that I must constantly
connect, to join up." - B.S.H.
