Doodling or painting can get as expressive as words. I am always amazed at how 26 letters, repeated in readable form, plus grammar, can be so ever-changing. And life-changing.
Just loved these lines of yours. Simply beautiful explanation.
It is amazing yes, and it's wonderful to see how something you make then evokes certain feelings in others. Sometimes feelings that are not expected at all! I was often asked 'What does it mean?' and could not answer because well, it was just my mind, my heart, my hand doing things, flowing from one realm into the other. I just found doodles and text I did when someone was over who just didn't talk at all. I would ask questions and he would stare and say nothing or grab his phone, or say "I don't know/yes/no" even after an open question, but he mostly would stare or grab his phone.
At some point I decided to not give him time after which I would help him on the way, but instead not help him on the way at all. I asked something and then waited for the answer. The regular 1 or 2 minutes passed. They turned into 5 minutes, 7, 10, 12. I took something that had been sent to me and started writing on it, drawing. I found it again two days ago, it has, among other things, two circles in it. One is filled with questions, smiles, glances, interests, help, comfort, more questions. The other one is empty. Underneath I had written '๐๐บ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ข ๐ง๐ถ๐ญ๐ญ, ๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ค๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ' 😹
