Speculations of an Artistic Mind: Jane's Thoughts

December 26, 2013 ~ Lockdown

Noise.

Noise all around me.

I am being bathed and drowned in sounds of every color and shape. Did you know that sounds have both colors and shapes? It’s true, they most certainly do. And unfortunately, I am being assaulted in all directions by the bluntest shapes and harshest colors there are. But what’s worse is that I am trapped in it; completely immobilized in the noises that are constantly gnawing me to the bone.

I need my sanctuary. It is the only place that I feel truly safe and quiet inside myself. It’s somewhere that isn’t really anywhere, but rather, it’s somewhere deep within the mind that one goes for refuge when the noise attacks. I am in that place right now. I am tucked away inside my own head as a pen glides across paper or as fingers fly across keys. It is a place I want to stay forever.

So I think that is precisely what I’ll do.
