Although the senses of the human being have been summarized to a very small number such as five, I consider that we have many more senses that help us to have perceptions that sometimes we do not understand. However, I do not want to go to more complex topics, I just want to share how satisfying my sense of hearing and touch gives me a lovely harmony.
Some of my acquaintances are surprised by the things that cause me peace, however, I am not surprised because every human being is a world and that uniqueness makes us unique and the truth is wonderful. One of the senses that I have more developed is hearing. I can listen very loudly to some sounds and get dazed but there are also sounds that calm me down in an impressive way.
I madly love the sound of pencil on paper, it delights me to hear that noise that is produced when I color. I just need pencil and paper to relax, sometimes I just make lines without any figure, anyway, what I like is the sound but at other times I write and color for my enjoyment only or if I want to send a letter to someone. And yes, I still write letters by hand with pencil and draw little pictures. No matter how much technology advances, I will continue to do this because it brings me to connect with myself.
While coloring or writing with the pencil I move to the most beautiful moments of my childhood, the movement of my hand is like a choreography and my handwriting becomes small gifts that give me a lot of joy and even a lifesaver to get out of deep mire when I run into distressing situations in life. In fact, I remember that when I went through a terrible situation I took a notebook and just scratched and scratched, I did not stop until I unloaded in an abstract drawing all my anxiety. That sound was the melody that calmed me down. It simply helped me to live, I could begin to breathe better, to feel a discharge through the movement of my right hand and my brain rested.
If you ask me how is it that I get to feel at fullness with that sound I would not know how to answer, scientifically it must have an explanation but I do not know it yet, what matters is that this method has been very useful not only to listen carefully to that sound that is an oasis for my senses but to feel my body and talk to it so that it feels better. When I feel good I also do it and it helps me to concentrate and to listen to every part of me, it is surprisingly great because it is like getting to feel myself to listen to me and to give me what I need.
For this reason I can't be without pencils, colors, pencil sharpeners and of course paper 💖.
