"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."
Henry David Thoreau
I've used this picture to emulate the idea personified by Thoreau in his quote. Just as it's not a single stream of water that engulfs this flow, so it is that are thoughts aren't just singular but an array of microcosms that flood our being. It is in the minute process of elementary thought that we capture one to dominate and influence us.
