Writers, poets, thinkers, philosophers, auteurs... we're to an extent people who are very self absorbed. I think it's part and parcel of having a mind that's wired that way.

It's just not possible to have quiet contemplations, self reflections and the ilk without the need to retreat deep into our own thoughts, occasionally shutting out the noise from the world, sorting what we've seen and heard.

Day dreamers have that too, the vacant look, that shows we've gone off wandering/wondering.

Yes, Adam Young always gets me contemplating. Yes, I'm besotted... by the Saltwater Room :P

"So tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love? 

All the time, all the time."
