chronicle II
call to adventure
icon - the summons

drawing - relief in being understood - ink on paper, 2025
To the person who understood me, thank you.
I was in a lonely place.
I felt invisible.
I was away from everything I knew - I had lost it all.
I desperately craved connection.
I needed my mind and soul to be understood.
It was once said that when you're with the right people, you don't have to translate your soul.
I was tired from translating mine.
But you heard me when I told you I needed to be understood.
And you told me that I was understood.
That meant more to me than you know.
That was the moment I realised:
I was never hard to understand.
I was never hard to see.
That gave me hope.
That gave me direction.
I knew then that I needed to move toward the light.
In that moment, something stirred - I realised I would need to go home, if i ever wanted to feel understood again.
letter - to the person who understood me
reveal - the summons comes
echo - the silence stirs
fragment - I was understood
fragment - I was tired from translating my soul
fragment - I was never hard to understand or see
reflective prompt
what would it mean to be seen so deeply that you are no longer alone?
