About Me

"Here in the middle of imagination, right in the middle of my head I close my eyes and my room's not my room, and my bed isn't really my bed. I look inside and discover things that are sometimes strange and new And the most remarkable thoughts I think have a way of being true.

Here in the middle of imagination, right in the middle of my mind I close my eyes and the night isn't dark and the things I lose, I find. Time stands still and the night is clear and the wind is warm and fair. And the nicest place is the middle of imagination when I'm there.
~ Ernie from "It's not Easy Being Green" by Jim Henson, the Muppets, and Friends
