Ink Blots

Sometimes I imagine that thoughts, experiences, tastes, textures, and everything else along those lines are blots of ink on the infinite paper that is one's mind. Inspiration, then, is finding shapes, words, maybe pictures in the drops of  ink inside our heads. So here's to the first in a series of posts called Ink Blots. In an Ink Blots post I will include pictures, videos, quotes or whatever I want that are thought-provoking or inspiring, or maybe in the area where the two merge together. I hope you enjoy the ride!
