Hmm... <i>"tapped into the same <b>metaspace/nugget</b> of the universe..."</i> Somehow that manages to be vivid, despite the fact that I have no idea what it means. Awesome! :-) What a great attitude, inkgrrl!

Great minds and all that ;-) I don’t think of this as having my ideas stolen, I think of it as synchronicity - something in me has tapped into the same metaspace/nugget of the universe as somebody or several somebodies else - it’s not as if there’s a finite supply of ideas, so a scarcity mentality hardly applies.

The "same" idea is definitely changed by coming from a different point of view -- <i>planted in different soil</i> to extend my metaphor. And I totally agree: it's inspiring to remember that while your ideas may resemble others' in some respects, in other respects your inspiration and your contribution is always unique.
