One could just as well rip out the drawings and put them on the dorm room wall of any student indulging in the arts, psychedelia, or philosophy. I love the strands of art nouveau threaded through the psychedelic fantasia reminiscent of many different eras; from the Victorian Alice in Wonderland-type madness to 1930's smoky jazz club surrealism to the 1960's and 70's rainbow celebration of inner-child imagination as seen in Yellow Submarine and Sesame Street.

The words fall into a poem suitable for all ages - not in a cloying, fun-for-the-whole-family, packaged sort of way, but in that children, teenagers, and adults will all appreciate it, albeit differently. It narrowly avoids sounding too self-helpish, and makes me hungry for strawberries.
