Here--look, you get the ceramic bell, a wake-up call or dinner call, perhaps. With it comes the strange plastic alien from my childhood, followed by a newer toy alien and a real alien--a dried seahorse from the ocean. Finally, a Mardi Gras-style coin that I got at the World Con in New Orleans. This is a reminder that dreams may change, as you grow and learn--no, that's not quite right. The center, the yearning, be it for the strange and wonderful or the beautiful and wondrous--that remains. So long as you keep that sense of wonder, you will never lack for inspiration.
