Elysium Dreams

"Elysium Dreams of my Soul." is caption. The pict is extraordinary; its origin will tell. It is I believe, a picture of my soul fleeting by me one night. I was taking totally random pictures of things that caught my eye in the living - knick-knacks, etc. and behold, 'Elysia' was caught on film. Why? Perhaps because the docs say I'm a bit of an 'androgen' - here defined as a person whose left and right sides of the brain are in near-perfect harmony. My 'yin'-sides strum back/forth like a piano wire whilst my 'yang'st outer form does the business of the day. I have a temporal, not spatial mind, which is ruggedly masculine; yin-temporals have to feel things about. My personality type is 2-4% in the nation known for hyper creativity and by age 4 my 'kind' is planning to write books, particularly poetry, which I do. (See Amazon.com 'Valley of the Damned' vol. 1 - a full-length modern novel set to classical rhyme - who does that these days? (the lines on the cover are a font form of mine. Thus Elysia is me.
