The two books I always have in my car with me wherever I go are Alice in Wonderland and Thoreau's Walden. They connect me to imagination and nature.

And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.”

Whenever someone sees me reading a kid's book & comments, "Aren't you a bit old to be reading that?" I reply: To my mind, one can never outgrow a well-written story or optimism or imagination. You should start reading them again.

Medieval art teacher: Go outside and draw what you see.
Class does as they were told. Comes back & shows the teacher their art.
Teacher: This is what you saw?
Class: Yes. We saw owls.
Teachers: And this is what they looked like?
