“I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music. ”

“But hunger, like food, comes in many shapes and colors.”

“Eyes are shaped like leaves, mouths are shaped like leaves, and goodbyes are shaped like leaves. But my love, that is shaped like a tree.”

“Each "way of thinking" has its own shape and color, which wax and wane like the moon.”

“When you sit in silence long enough, you learn that silence has a motion. It glides over you without shape or form, exactly like water. Its color is silver. And silence has a sound you hear only after hours of wading inside it. The sound is soft, like flute notes rising up, like the words of glass speaking. Then there comes a point when you must shatter the blindness of its words, the blindness of its light.”

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way... things I had no words for.”
