It can't be darkness, can it? That unknown world we wish we could get, see, touch, smell, feel...brake down. Could it be another world? I would like it to be the form of silence, it's not the same of darkness what we see with our eyes closed, it takes its own "something"
Someone tells me "but you can't see with your eyes closed". I wanted to answer that one can also see without eyes, but I wonder what would you answer to that someone...?
i am a painter who began my career as a child coloring outside the lines of my coloring books. i am a writer who started out by composing adventure stories while riding my stick horse around the backyard. as a child, i got in trouble for asking too many questions...i question that.
"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

is it not quite limiting to think we cannot see without our eyes? blind people "see".....don't they? although maybe not in the ways sighted people do.
if you inhale an aroma, do you see the pot cooking on the stove before you enter the kitchen?
is not darkness something we see? like a dark night?
i like your image that with my eyes closed, i see the "form of silence"......that "fits" so to speak........
I'll make him know.
I think darkness is awsome.
so many colors in darkness.
like in the art world.....black contains all the colors.....
Art always changes my thoughts.
I'm used to understand darkness as the absence of light in which are all colors.
that is probably a better way of putting it.
