How Do I Do‪?‬

P.S.

In the over-six decades that I have eagerly held crayon, pencil or pen, my style of drawing has never before brought forth these figures, each of which poured out in a single line, unbidden.

The "emotes," as I have named them, are gifts from God which free me to recognize the feelings each figures represents. Being a visual-learner myself, and quite detached from my emotions, I have been largely unable to identify my feelings without such graphic clues. These images have allowed me to connect with myself in a whole new way!

I did not willfully invent these images. While it was my hand which held the pen, it was a power greater than myself which caused these emotes to fill the pages of my many journals and now this book. Some friends suggest I "channeled" the emotes. I believe they channeled the inner me.

Occasionally shared with others, the emotes made immediate connections, elicited brand-new back stories and found universal recognition.
May they also resonate with you. Nemaste.
