Out beyond the sphere of thought lies a garden of forgotten worlds. The small, sweet seeds of children’s dreams are planted, to grow into trees of delight and mystery. The old gardener toils alone, between avenues of jasmine-scented fantasies, wish fulfillments and dreams of dead parents. He tends the neglected brambles of imaginary friends left behind at adulthood, and strokes them gently with a brush. He pollinates and fertilizes the chaos of slumber, creating unions of minds, seeds from which new realities, new universes grow. The gardener works in silence and wonders what it must be like to dream.

hmm sounds difficult to me, don't think I'm that good of a writer to do something like that; but then i never really tried. but i imagine it would come out all crooked and weird. sometimes the things that sound OK in my mind, don't sound so well written out on paper or read out loud.
i really liked it, tending to a child like you would tend to a garden. i have to say i never thought of it like that.

:D It's difficult trying to distill everything down into 100 words, but it's fun. It takes a while, but it feels great once you've finished. A whole story that you could fit on the back of a postcard! You should try it - it's probably easier for poets than for us prose writers. :D

Thank you for the favourite!
