.....planted in fertile ground, will take root and grow, so we can expect ideas and experiences to expand and increase in our imaginations over time. And in the same way that plants often look strikingly different once they have become established, so our memories and impressions stop resembling the realities that first gave rise to them.

'Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.' (Khalil Gibran)
