A Catalogue of Beautiful Minds


"What goes on in your mind and how does it work?"

This is perhaps one of the deepest, most intimate questions you can ask a person. It holds within it all that is beautiful and interesting and unique about you. It might seem odd having a total stranger ask you such an intensely personal question. Obviously, whether you answer it or not is entirely up to you.

How you answer it is equally up to you: it could be a gigantic prosaic essay, a few brief paragraphs, a single paragraph, a poem, a picture, or a single line.

How this works:

If you're reading this, chances are you've already been posed this question. If you choose to respond, you can either reply to it privately or post it on your page. If you post it, please send me a message saying you've done so, as I ask a lot of people and can't check all their blogs.

All responses will be published on this blog. A link to your page will be included with each. If you don't want to be linked to or want to remain anonymous, please let me know. The people I pose this question to are selected partly randomly and partly deliberately. If you respond I'll follow you.

If you stumbled upon this without being asked the question and you'd like to take part, please feel free to Submit a response.

I am trying to create a catalogue of human poetry, a worldwide database of human minds simply sharing themselves and spilling forth their beauty.

My personal blog is here.

My mind is an igloo. Sometimes it gets quite cold in the world, and I keep my bones warm and dry in there. The walls are ice, but they comfort me well. Perhaps there is a vase of sunflowers inside - even when I retreat into myself, completely alone, I need to remind myself that there is sunlight.
