Expressing emotion
Words cannot and will not ever express emotion
in the same way that cats will never understand dogs
and in the same way dogs will never understand science.
But through emotion we can understand one another.
A teardrop. Does it run down a quivering lip, the crack of a smile or the river frozen with shock?
Is it one tear or is it more?
How high is the stock?
Emotion is at our core.
Words are articulate.
Emotion is more.
Emotion is visual,
Different for each individual.
Yet unfortunately emotion is hidden behind what is digital,
Deterring us from going back to what is original.
-Oliver Purnell
