 In a foreign land, a boy named Jack wandered far from home. days of walking found him in a solitary stone house, weather-worn, uninhabited. hidden among tall trees deep inside a forest. The moss-covered shelter looked like stray animals and all sorts of crawling creatures would find their home in it. but darkness and exhaustion overtook him and he fell right off to sleep for the night. Daybreak roused him to go explore outside. Holding this jungle sanctuary upright were giant roots of an aged tree which clung tenaciously around one side like a protective hand, its trunk stretched upwards endlessly into the clouds, where it disappeared into a mist. And this is where the story we all know began. Did the writer find his inspiration here? @jjote 01/28/2017 |

Eh . . . Inspiration comes to us in many different forms. Who am I to poo-poo an idea generated from this magnificent structure and surroundings? Not I! ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

This would inspire anyone! I love Cambodia and my visit to the angkor wat temples especially Ta Prohm will stay with me forever. Thank you for the reminder of how spectacular and awe inspiring they are. xx Love is the life of the soul... |

actually my recent photos came from my bachelor nephew who loves to travel and take pictures. This is from a recent one. Just wanted to let my imagination transport me to the old childhood story. And thanks Jerry, there are inspirations and inspirations, I never know what imp would suddenly tickle me to write stuff like this |
