I often find my sketches and paintings hold more wisdom than my words.

Yes, I've encountered this in my own creative works; where I often notice that the meaning or personal significance of a song, painting, or poem, is to some extent, a mystery to me at first.

It is only after some time passes, that I realize in a retrospective revelation, what my subconscious was communicating to me.

I've also experienced a similar occurrence in dreams that were accompanied by a sense of déjà vu, or foreshadowing, and that later culminated in an epiphany, as a sort of prophesied milestone in the chronology of my life.

A dreamshadow, I suppose.

Paradox points the way to integration through the blind spots in perception. Good writing has fidelity to transcendence without dualistic collapse. My attempts to hide wisdom from ego’s truth subverting also serve so it can be accessed later.
