If i am an open book, do you read me because you were taught to read??

anne artist said...

if i were taught to read, would i focus on your words and not look at the illustrations?

Sally Ang said...

If focusing on my words let you figure up the illustrations...do you think your eyes is having a big feast or your mind ??

anne artist said...

perhaps i see them more clearly in my mind's eye...

Sally Ang said...

Anne, do you want to teach the mind's eyes to read ??

anne artist said...

can anyone teach the mind's eye to read?

Sally Ang said...

May be the arrow can...with the help from the bow and archer :)...Maybe you can...never underestimate what you can do :)

anne artist said...

maybe the mind's eye can see what cannot be taught....

Is seeing ...reading ??

anne artist said...

quite a wonderful question...thank you for it, s.a.

is seeing reading that transcends words?

Sally Ang said...

No...i think seeing had a lesser weight then reading ...if there is a weighing scale on words :)

anne artist said...

if i see, am i labelling? is a word a label?

if i call something i see a "tree" will i know it? or will i know it if i touch it and feel its bark and inhale the fragrance of its leaves?

bug, as you say, we give power to words...

Sally Ang said...

when you see...meaning label...hmmm...bug and tree ....haha ....i am confused ...can you light me up ?? (enlighten :)

anne artist said...

i have heard it said that some cultures can have many words for one thing...such as snow. and that influences how snow is seen.

if you had no word for "pink" would you see it?

Sally Ang said...

This goes back to the question about teaching me to read ...add another dimension of colours ...if nobody teach me that red+white is "pink"...then will i know pink , will i come to like the colour pink ??....hmmm, haha :)

anne artist said...

so am i reading the colors i see.

Sally Ang said...

So doing Maths is reading ...haha...adding white to red :)...pink is p + "ink"...Anne, what does this "p" means ...in your sense ??

anne artist said...

p is a mark i make in order to show that i was/am here. that i lived and walked upon this planet and looked out upon my world and turned it into a story which was created with sounds that became in part the letter "p".
