What you don't see is fascinating
Rivers of children memorize texts
Listening/speaking predates writing/reading
I can do it. Enthusiastic. Feeling sound pre-language

They were mute manifestations of silent inexpressible FEAR.
I was deep in a world of silence.
I appreciate yes.
It was subtle, clear and immediate. I learned valuable lessons.
Slowing down, meditation, awareness, solitude.
Yangon, Burma
Yes, most ignored me. They were too shy, shocked or mute.
Too lazy to take the pencil and scribble their frustration or FEAR.
I appreciate the value of silence now. More so than when I was afflicted. Being pure and radiant.
It is a blessing with gratitude and forgiveness.
A combination of no voice, no hearing is perfect in myriad ways.
It's real freedom.
Freedom is knowing how big your cage is.
Freedom is having no choice.
Freedom from need or a need for freedom.
Humans manifest their loneliness with silent tears.
They project their fear and defense mechanisms on others.
Where is meaning?
Meaning is MIA.
Where is the pure joy in being?
How or why isn't he talking?
Where did his voice go?
It joined other voices waiting for articulation.
There's a big power in speechlessness.
People should talk less and draw more.
Life is a dance.
The dancer and dance are one.
Yangon, Burma
Meaning and sense: meaning shows itself at once, direct, literal, explicit, enclosed in itself.
Sense cannot stay still radiating out in directions that divide and subdivide.
The sense of every word is like a star hurling spring tides out into space, cosmic winds, magnetic perturbations, afflictions.
What does it mean to be human?
How did I grow?
What is the ultimate reality of nature?

I am someone else - Rimbaud
Dancing in the ecstasy of divine madness.
Science: systematic observation, precise measurement, disciplined testing. (quantifiable statistics)
Photography: facts, subtleties, nuances...painting with light.
Light is luminous essence, the energy of all things through the inner eye in mind.
Before form is essence.
After essence is clear light.
In light we dissolve into our primordial nature, touching all things across time and space.
These are the truths which makes us human and divine.
The world is complex and meaningless.
