I love this beautiful writing of yours. Your account of your childhood and school years rings many bells of recognition for me. I didn't see colours, I saw beings, other beings, all around us, at the edges of vision, behind trees, inside flowers, in the wallpaper. Except nobody else seemed to see them.

I love this beautiful writing of yours. Your account of your childhood and school years rings many bells of recognition for me. I didn't see colours, I saw beings, other beings, all around us, at the edges of vision, behind trees, inside flowers, in the wallpaper. Except nobody else seemed to see them. So, I learned not to speak of them. And, unacknowledged and denied, the other beings gradually faded away. I wonder how many other children have a similar experience. I suspect that it is widespread.
Like you, I was lucky and was able to find a way back. I greet the beings every day now and they are coming back, stronger and stronger. There is no way I am going to deny them again. As I am typing this, I am aware that some people will read it as a confession of madness. Whatever. I am done with their sanity.
Thank you so much for your writing. It is comforting to know that there are other mad people around.

Bless you, Andy. I too am done with their 'sanity'. Good to see you here, hope you're well.
