simulacrum (n)
an image or representation of someone or something.

The surface life is a simulacrum of something we intuit inside ourselves but have not yet really brought to life from the depths. All the time we are slowly in retreat from our own frontier.*
David Whyte
Deep down your dream lies
whispering …
Still whispering.
*David Whyte’s Crossing the Unknown Sea.
Wow. This is a deep one. And your doodle is just right, though I see it as the whispers that surround us from outside and distract us from our inner “life in the depths.” But it can also be the divine whispers from the kosmos all around us and the Spirit at work in our immediate world… I will think about this! —Nic 323-363-4417 (A text message is the quickest and surest way to reach me)
Glad this is helpful for reflection. Some of what you mention is accidental, and that’s the fun part of doodling.
