Polar Bear Water

I’ve drawn images that expressed my subconscious, pure and rea,l months before I had any idea what I was doing. Color, intensity, texture, emotion—all there. All unclear to me.

Pure thinking wears you out. Your conscious mind can feel like a head without a body—and it doesn’t know nearly as much as it thinks because knowing is a smaller part of the equation than we’d like to admit.

The real wisdom lies below the surface, inside the cold waters beneath the polar bears.

Your body knows things before your brain does. Your feelings speak languages more precise than thought. My hands understood what my mind couldn’t name yet.

These aren’t vague instincts. They are information. Your gut, your skin, your throat—they’re processing the world constantly, sending signals your consciousness hasn’t caught up to.

We spend so much energy living only in our heads. What else is going on?
