I want to explain the blog title

I thought this would be a good first blog post topic.
For years I've had email addresses that are "themazeofimagination" at something. A lot of people ask me about it when I give it out... especially in stores when no one appreciates it.

Well, it's pretty simple. Back in 2000 when I was just a wee one, I found this band that has kind of changed my life. U2. Beautiful Day was the first song I ever heard of theirs and I completely fell in love. And there's one line in there, one lyric in particular that I just love. It so rightly epitomizes creativity and how it works. And that is what I strive for. I changed the lyric a little bit to make it fit within itself better.
Anyway. Read the lyrics below for some stunning poetry.

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

Of course all music is better when it is heard...
